Toddler's death sparks urgent playset warning from feds

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has warned parents to stop using a toddler slide playset after linking it to the death of a 17-month-old. In a notice dated Aug. 13, the CPSC said the WPX-4 slide playset—made by Wenzhou Yidian Amusement Equipment Co., Ltd. in China—has openings that can trap a child’s head and neck, creating a risk of serious injury or death. The playsets, sold in multiple colors and designed for indoor or outdoor use, should be discarded immediately. The CPSC says it is aware of one fatality and that the manufacturer has not agreed to an acceptable recall.
