Hospital admission Made Feb 7, 2012, sent to the company Feb 16, 2012, published by CPSC Mar 2, 2012
The product, in the report: A playset called the “Big Skye [I] It was manufactured by Gorilla Playsets, Inc., which is a subsidiary of PlayNation.
My child was playing on a residential playset in the backyard of my home. While going down the tube slide my child became impaled on a flagpole that accompanied the playset suffering a life threatening injury. Following the incident I confirmed that the nuts and bolts that hold the tube slide together were all tightened properly, but when I looked at the tube slide I noticed numerous places where there were gaps nonetheless that would easily capture loose objects that went down the slide, and this is where the flagpole became caught. The playset was purchased new and installed by professional playset installers on 6/19/2010. The incident occurred less than fours months later on 10/11/2010. I have concerns based on my review of the ASTM standards for residential playground equipment, which are referenced on the CPSC website and available for purchase on ASTM’s website, that this playground equipment is dangerous and violated at least two standards by (1) allowing these pronounced gaps at the seams; and (2) that the flag(s) posed a threat of impaling kids using the playset. The manufacturer was notified a long time ago out of concern for preventing other similar incidents and I assumed they would have contacted the CPSC to report this. After searching the CPSC website this incident did not appear. It is important to me that this does not happen to other children and my hope is that notifying the CPSC will prevent other incidents of injury.
