No one hurt Made Aug 1, 2017, sent to the company Dec 1, 2017, published by CPSC Dec 15, 2017
The product, in the report: Yellow trapeze bar with two rings for hanging/climbing.
Kids were playing on Rainbow Systems playground set and the trapeze handle broke while in play! When I contacted Rainbow was VERY shocked to find out that there was a recall. We were never notified by Rainbow nor by company that sold it to us (Superior Play Systems).

Hurt, no treatment Made Sep 28, 2015, sent to the company Nov 16, 2015, published by CPSC Dec 1, 2015
The product, in the report: Double Decker Play Center Item # 349862 Plastic yellow trapeze rings
The consumer stated that her 3 year old niece was using the trapeze rings when one of it broke. Her niece was pulling herself up when the plastic ring broke. Her niece fell to the ground hurting her back and head. No medical attention was necessary. The consumer applied ice to the area.
The consumer took the broken ring to a local Rainbow store in Lake In The Hill, IL. The consumer spoke to a sales representative at the store regarding the incident. The sales representative informed the consumer that they didn’t sell the plastic ring at that location and that she would have to order a replacement online. The consumer ordered a replacement ring for $60 through the representative.
The consumer is upset because the representative failed to report the incident to corporate or fill out any paperwork regarding the matter. He only ordered a new ring for the consumer.
The consumer believes that there may be more incidents with the product (recall #15-250) that are not reported to the company because the store representatives fail to to take the report.
