The Ralph J. Stolle Countryside YMCA purchased a Granny's House play structure for our outdoor preschool playground. We recently had 2 children get their legs stuck in the spindles/pickets on the porch of the structure. In both cases the children had no trouble getting their legs in but became stuck at the knee when pulling their leg out from between the pickets. The second incident occurred on 6/22/11. The first incident occurred earlier this spring. During the second incident the child's knees began to swell before we were able to get him free from the structure. The next day he had bruises on both knees as a result of the incident.

Building a playhouse for my kids I found a huge design flaw with the rock wall placement per the instructions. It assumes the wood will fit flush against the frame OVER the Hex Bolt and that simply isn’t possible. The gap it leaves is structurally unsafe to climb and any other placement of the wall hinders or alters the design purpose. I’ve reached out to others who have purchased the product and have made alterations to fix the issue but again, that makes the entire structure unsafe for kids. I made the report and the manufacturer insists there is nothing they can do. No injuries have been reported but there should not be a wait for one.

Caller stated that the playhouse for her 2 year old son became extremely hot while it was outside on a concrete pavement. She stated that there was not much sunlight to the playhouse. However, her 9 month old daughter opened the door to the playhouse and crawled in and screamed, caller discovered that the child's right hand (palm) had received blisters from touching the playhouse floor. The child was taken to her physician where she was diagnosed of 2nd degree burns, the dead skin was removed and she was treated with antibiotics. Using a bath thermometer the caller measured the air temperature and then the temperature of the plastic floor of the playhouse. The air temperature was 77 degrees F and the floor of the playhouse 121 degrees F! 3/2015 Caller stated that she contacted the manufacturer and informed them of the incident. She was advised that someone would contact her about the matter. 5/2015 She contacted them through email to find out the status on the report. She stated that no one responded. 6/24/15 She contacted them again through email and still no one responded. Caller stated that there is no warning label that the playhouse can overheat, she feels that this product is a safety hazard and should be investigated.

We received a step2 "four seasons" play house in used condition from friends on a Saturday, I hosed it down as it was covered in dirt and cobwebs and left it to dry. My children played with it all day on Sunday and on Monday morning without incident. Monday afternoon I took my children outside, within 5 minutes of being outside my 2 youngest started crying (one was still inside the playhouse) I went to them and saw that they had severe burns on their arms. There was a type of mucus coming out of the side of the playhouse, where the top is connected with the bottom. It is the consistency and color of [REDACTED], and seems to react to sunlight/warm temps. They were taken immediately to their pediatrician who informed us it looked like chemical burns. I did contact the step2 company and was informed that there was nothing they could do. The toy was not cleaned with any kind of chemicals or stored anywhere near chemicals of any sort. It is still unknown what this substance is but it is certainly coming out of the playhouse. It is now a week after the incident and it is still coming out. We are unsure as to what to do at this point.

My 4 year old son was playing with a new spiderman playhouse. He couldn't get the trapdoor bed to release, so he pushed hard and his finger got stuck in the gap that opened. After I got his finger released, it was indented in two places, purple and now bruised. I inspected this new toy house, and the trap door bed only releases as expected when the garage door is pulled down. If it is up, fingers easily get stuck using kid force.

We bought the Atlantis Cedar Playset in May 2011. On 3-22-12, the beam mount that attached the swing to the clubhouse broke. This caused the clubhouse to fall, leading to further damage to the clubhouse. There was not a significant storm or any unusual force that should have caused the beam mount to break. I have contacted the company (Backyard Discovery), and they are insisting the damage was caused my mother nature. I feel like there is a real safety concern here that the company is not taking seriously. There was some rain and wind the day that it happened, but no significant storm that should have caused this damage. I have asked nothing from the company other than for them to investigate this safety concern, and have had no response to the safety issue. If my kids had been playing on the playset at the time the beam mount broke, they could have been seriously injured. I feel there is a defect in the quality of this playset, and I don't want anybody to get injured from the same thing happening to them. I have pictures of the damage if needed.
