Which Arlopu slide playset models are recalled?
Only the two model numbers identified in the federal notice are covered by this announcement. Both are plastic indoor/outdoor activity playsets featuring a slide and basketball hoop, sold in several colors including tan, red, blue, yellow, gray and green. Color alone is not a reliable way to decide whether a set is affected: check the printed model label.
| Model | Where to look for label | Additional concern |
|---|---|---|
| KT-CS17 | Underside of elevated platform | Basketball net can detach and form an entanglement loop |
| LY-31 | Upper back panel behind the slide | Head and neck entrapment openings |
If the label is difficult to find, consult the official CPSC notice and its actual recalled-product images rather than comparing the representative photograph on this page.
Why are the slide sets dangerous?
The CPSC says certain openings allow a child's torso through while potentially trapping the head, creating a head-and-neck entrapment hazard. The KT-CS17 basketball net can also come loose from its rim and form a loop that poses entanglement and strangulation risks. The agency identifies one reported entrapment incident with abrasions to a child's neck; this does not establish that every playset has caused an injury.
Independent People reporting published November 8 also describes the affected models, injury report and repair program. The government notice is the controlling reference for eligibility and instructions.
How to get the free Arlopu recall repair kit
- Stop use now. Store the slide set somewhere children cannot reach it while awaiting repair.
- Identify the model. Photograph the model-number label at the location listed above.
- Contact Arlopu. Email the model-number photograph to arlopu_support@163.com or call 800-657-9218, Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5:30 p.m. Eastern. The company also provides a “Recall Information” link on its website.
- Wait for the mailed kit. The CPSC says the free kit includes redesigned panels, basketball hoops and installation instructions. Do not assume the product is safe to resume using before completing the prescribed repair.
- Dispose of removed parts as directed. After repair, mark removed components “RECALLED” with permanent marker and dispose of them, according to the notice.
The recall remedy is a repair kit, not an announced cash refund. The federal notice does not provide a universal arrival date for kits, so owners should ask Arlopu about their individual request rather than relying on an invented delivery timeline.
Where and when were these playsets sold?
The CPSC identifies Amazon.com and Walmart.com as online sales channels between April 2023 and August 2026, with prices around $90–$130. A purchase date or store name can help locate an order record, but the model number remains the key check. The recall number is 27-066.
What should parents do next?
Keep the recalled playset inaccessible to children and follow the manufacturer's repair instructions. If a child has been injured, seek appropriate medical attention; this article does not diagnose injuries.
