Playworld Systems is recalling more than 300 popular teeter toys for a possible serious injury and crush hazard.

The recall, posted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, involves the brand’s Unity Teeter Tunnels with Lexan Tops toys.

The toy features a seesaw that allows multiple children to stand, sit and lie down on them and to crawl into a tunnel.

If a child accidentally falls underneath the Unity Teeter Tunnel, the end of the seesaw plank can land on them, posing a risk of serious injury and a crush hazard to young children.

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

The toys were sold by Playworld Systems sales representatives and their authorized independent sales representatives nationwide from October 2014 through March 2025 for between $13,450 and $13,600.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled teeter toys, keep them away from children, and contact Playworld Systems to schedule a free repair.

The company will send a certified playground installer to each location to repair the unit.

Playworld Systems is contacting all known purchasers directly.
