The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of about 1,400 playground tire swings made by Miracle Equipment Company of Monett, Missouri. The hanger clamp on the swings can fail and cause the swing to detach, posing a fall hazard to children.

Miracle Recreation has received three reports of this happening, including two reports of cuts requiring stitches and one report of a fractured foot.

The recalled swings consist of a tire hanging from a swivel and three chains. The following product and model numbers are included in the recall:
  • Kids' Choice Arch Tire Swing Sets - Model # 714-852
  • Kids' Choice Arch Tire Swing Extension - Model # 714-852-X
  • Kids' Choice Arch Tire Swing Swivel Replacement - Model #278
These swings were made in the United States and sold by authorized dealers to schools, parks and municipalities nationwide from February 1995 through March 2008 for between $570 and $2,100 each.

If you have one of these swings, you should immediately remove the tire swing, including the swivel, chains and tire, from the hanger clamp until a free repair kit can be installed. For more information, contact Miracle Recreation at (800) 523-4202 ext 683, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, send them an email at recalls@miraclerec.com, or visit their Web site.
