Playworld Systems Unity Teeter Tunnels Recalled After 2 Children Seriously Injured

Playworld Systems is recalling Unity Teeter Tunnels with Lexan Tops after two children were seriously injured, according to a notice posted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The recall includes Playworld Unity Teeter Tunnels with part numbers ZZXX0182, ZZXX0182S, ZZXX0192 and ZZXX0192S, which appear on the original purchase order and on the installation instructions. The playground seesaws allow multiple children to stand, sit and lie on them, as well as crawl through a central tunnel.

The firm has received two reports of children falling under the end of the seesaw plank. One child sustained a liver laceration when the end of the seesaw plank landed on her abdomen. The second child sustained fractures to his right tibia and right fibula when the end of the seesaw plank landed on him.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled teeter tunnels and contact Playworld Systems to schedule a free repair. Playworld Systems will send a certified playground installer to each location to repair the unit. Playworld Systems is contacting all known purchasers directly and will request that consumers remove the teeter tunnels from service until the repair is completed.

Only around 329 of the recalled seesaws were sold, through Playworld Systems sales representatives and their authorized independent sales representatives nationwide, from October 2014 through March 2025 for between $13,450 and $13,600.
