The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation with The Troxel Company, announced a voluntary recall of Flexible Flyer Swing Sets. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
