I was visiting a park in with two preschool children when I noticed a girl with a deaf mother playing. She was climbing on the outside of the Little Tykes Ship Playground put her foot through the molded plastic fence and got her knee stuck. I climbed up on a small wall near her and got underneath her to lift her up so she wouldn't slip and fall. I proceeded to lift her body up so she could get it out when I realized she was really stuck! It was so wedged in I almost had to call emergency services to get her loose. When I lifted her high enough she was able to straighten her leg off while I removed her shoe so she could get her leg out. I saw her mother lift her pant leg up and she had a big indent on her knee. If I had not been there I don't know what would have happened.

The submitter states that the playground was evaluated on 8/8/16 by [REDACTED]. The submitter indicated that the evaluation determined the playground has many safety hazards, such as improper ground which presents a fall zone hazard and a laceration hazard due to holes in the steel frame. The playground also poses a burn hazard and a height risk hazard. The submitter indicated that the playground is very old and the manufacturer is Iron Mountain Forge but they are now apart of Little Tikes. The submitter states that the school and the school district are aware of the issue but have failed to address the matter. The submitter does not believe the playground has been inspected through the district in a long time and they have been neglecting the safety protocol with the playground. The submitter would like to remain anonymous from the school and avoid repercussions from the school or school district.

THE CONSUMER WAS SITTING ON A PIECE OF PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT WHEN THE EQUIPMENT BROKE AND THE CONSUMER FELL TO THE GROUND.

On August 19th, 2010, the second day of school, my 9-yr old daughter was playing right at the start of recess and ended up getting KILLED! She was playing on a new peice of equipment called the X-Wave and when she was at the highest point she fell off, almost right under it. As she tried to get up this heavy peice of equipment came down and hit her on the head with enough force to kill her almost. She didn't even have a chance to get out of the way of this very dangerous peice of equipment before it came down and hit her, killing her. School was her most favorite thing and she ended up being killed there. I just don't want this happening to another child and family.

The first recall on Durango playsets everything went fine replacement part came in and fixed. Now after 2 years the piece that was replaced the wood is spilting where the bolts are on both sides and the whole playset shifted on a tilt. After 6 years only of normal wear and tear this shouldn't happen. My concern now is the safety of my kids and others. The split is by the bolts where the ladder and top monkey piece meet. The same pieces that were recalled previous. It's just super unfair that you spend so much and it falls apart after x amount of years.

The play structures manufactured by BCI Burke (https://www.bciburke.com) at [REDACTED] have lots of protruding screws in them. My kid got a deep laceration because he 'walked' into one of the structures. He lost some blood and we had to rush him to ER for first aid. The screws are sharp, hazardous and dangerous when kids play. The playstructure with sharp metal protruding screws is a bad design. Kids from 2 years to 6 years use the playstructure.

I took my grandchildren to Adventure Landing in Greece, N.Y. 14626 on Thursday 6/09/2011 for an outing. My six year old grandson after playing in an activity called the "WOW factory" emerged with a long cut on his leg. He did not have the cut before entering. I notified the day shift manager who took a report. We asked for something to clean the wound and were given a box of bandaids and a small tube of neosporin. They did not appear to have or we weren't offered a first aid kit with anything to clean the wound. None of the bandaids were even large enough to fully cover the cut. We asked for a copy of the accident report and were told we couldn't have it, it was against their policy. My husband requested to speak with the manager (he wasn't on-site) via phone. He again insisted we couldn't have a copy of the report or even the name of the person who witnessed and wrote the report. I insisted the "day shift manager" write her name down which she finally did. My anger is with the fact that not knowing what unsafe condition caused my grandson's cut they continued to allow children into this activity. The general manager via phone was completely indifferent to the fact that a child was injured. He seemed to only care about his liability. My grandson is visiting from Colorado and as grandparents we wanted to make sure we took care of this incident in the right way. His cut appears to be healing ok at this time but I don't want to see any other child hurt. I want to make them accountable for the safety of their visitors. I also don't believe they have procedures in place to address any accidents that happen on their property. I would appreciate knowing this facility is going to be inspected so that any unsafe condition will be corrected. The attitude of the staff was cavalier and does not give me confidence they will even try to determine the cause of my grandson's injury. The activity was a 3 story slide, webcrawl with bridges and foam balls. There were metal
