The product
This recall involves the Inclusive Orbit, a spinning play component, similar to a merry-go-round, for playgrounds. The product has three handrails and a seat, and it is designed for a capacity of six children. The platform surface is flush with the ground surrounding it. Recalled model numbers include 560-0042 or 560-0051. Owners of the equipment can contact BCI Burke to determine which unit they have.
What can happen
The space between the rotating platform and the stationary outer rim can leave a gap that narrows too much, posing a crushing hazard to children.
