The recalled swing set models include:

• The Durango
• Tacoma
• Oddsey

The swing sets are made of wood, and feature various types of slides, swings and a fabric canopy over part of the structure.

The sets were sold at Wal-Mart, Menards, and Toys “R” Us stores and Wal-Mart.com from February 2006 through March 2006. They were manufactured in the United States and China.
