Unity Teeter Tunnels with Lexan Tops

Description

This recall involves Playworld Unity Teeter Tunnels with part numbers ZZXX0182, ZZXX0182S, ZZXX0192 and ZZXX0192S. The seesaws allow multiple children to stand, sit and lie down on them and to crawl into a tunnel. The part number appears on the original purchase order and on the installation instructions.

Hazard

If a child accidentally falls underneath the Unity Teeter Tunnel, the end of the seesaw plank can land on them, posing a risk of serious injury and a crush hazard.

Incidents & Injuries

The firm has received two reports of children falling under the end of the seesaw plank of the recalled Unity Teeter Tunnels. One child sustained a liver laceration when the end of the seesaw plank landed on her abdomen and the second child suffered fractures to his right tibia and right fibula when the end of the seesaw plank landed on him.

Remedy Instructions

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled teeter tunnels and contact Playworld Systems to schedule a free repair. Playworld Systems will send a certified playground installer to each location to repair the unit. Playworld Systems is contacting all known purchasers directly and will request that consumers place the teeter tunnels out of service until the repair is completed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Follow the consumer action instructions in the recall notice above. Most recalls require you to stop using the product and contact the manufacturer directly — either by calling the toll-free number listed in the official CPSC notice or by visiting the manufacturer's website. You generally do not need a receipt or original packaging to claim a remedy. The manufacturer is legally required to provide the remedy (Repair) at no cost to you.

Furniture tip-overs are a leading cause of pediatric injuries in the U.S., particularly dressers, bookcases, and television stands. CPSC data shows that a child dies approximately every two weeks from a furniture or TV tip-over. Unstable high chairs, baby swings, and bouncers are also frequent recall subjects due to fall risks. ASTM International standards now require that certain furniture must meet tip-over resistance standards, and CPSC has been actively pursuing mandatory requirements for dressers and chests. If you have furniture that was not recalled but feels unstable, wall-anchoring kits are widely available at hardware stores.

In most cases, no. CPSC-coordinated recall remedies are designed to be accessible without proof of purchase. Manufacturers typically ask consumers to self-certify ownership and may ask for photos of the product or its serial number. Some manufacturers request that you mail in a portion of the product (such as a cut cord or removed component) as proof of disposal. Check the specific remedy instructions for this recall for exact requirements. If you registered your product at the time of purchase, the process is usually even simpler.

If the original manufacturer has gone out of business, the recall remedy may no longer be available through them. In this case, contact CPSC directly at 1-800-638-2772 or cpsc.gov for guidance. If the brand was acquired by another company, the acquiring company may have assumed recall obligations. In some cases where a remedy is unavailable, CPSC advises consumers to safely dispose of the product. If you were injured by the product of a defunct company, consult a product liability attorney — parent companies, distributors, and retailers may still bear liability in some circumstances.
