Arlopu Recalls About 10,318 Slide Playsets Over Head and Neck Entrapment Hazards
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced on November 5 that Arlopu slide playsets have been recalled due to serious head and neck entrapment hazards, involving about 10,318 units with model numbers KT-CS17 and LY-31. The recall number is 27-066.
According to the CPSC notice, the recalled plastic playsets contain multiple openings where a child's torso can fit through but a child's head cannot, posing a risk of serious injury and death from head and neck entrapment. In addition, the basketball nets on units with model number KT-CS17 can come unhooked from the rim, forming a loop large enough for a child's head and posing entanglement and strangulation hazards.
Arlopu has received one report of an entrapment incident involving the playsets, resulting in abrasions on a child's neck. The playsets, designed for indoor or outdoor use, include a slide and a basketball hoop and come in tan, red, blue, yellow, gray and green. The KT-CS17 model number is printed on a label on the underside of the elevated platform, and the LY-31 model number is printed on a label on the upper back panel behind the slide.
The playsets were sold online at Amazon.com and Walmart.com from April 2023 through August 2026 for between $90 and $130. The importer is SHENZHENSHIMINGXIAOSHANGMAOYOUXIANGONGSI, doing business as Arlopu, of China, and the products were manufactured in China.
Consumers should stop using the Arlopu slide playsets immediately and store them away from children, the CPSC said. They should contact Arlopu for a free repair kit, which includes redesigned panels, basketball hoops and installation instructions. Consumers will be asked to provide a photo of the product showing the model number to [email protected], and the firm will mail the free repair kit directly to them. Once the repair is completed, consumers should write “RECALLED” with a permanent marker on the removed components and dispose of them. Arlopu can be reached toll-free at 800-657-9218 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at arlopu.com by clicking “Recall Information” at the top of the page.
