Washington, DC: Landscape Structures is recalling about 177 Oodle Swings following reports of nine children having broken their legs or suffered sprains when their legs got caught under the swing. The swing seat is suspended too close to the ground, posing an injury hazard to children who can get their legs caught underneath the swing seat.
The swing frame is a double arch, comes in a variety of colors and measures 9 ½ ft. high by 13 ½ ft. long by 4 ½ ft. wide. The swing seat is an oval-shaped ring, measures 4 ft. wide by about 3 ½ ft. deep, comes in a variety of colors and is suspended from the frame by four black cables or chains. The swing seat holds as many as six children. Landscape Structures is printed on label near ground level on the frame. The swing set' model number 173592 is printed in the swing' instruction manual. "Landscape Structures"is molded in the black rubber bumper of the swing seat.
The swings were sold to schools and other facilities with playground equipment nationwide from February 2011 through November 2013 for about $4,350.
Oodle Swings were made in the US by Landscape Structures Inc., of Delano, MN.
