A Not-So-Shocking Recall

Here is a product recall that deserves its own "What the Freak?" post. After 16 reports of injuries including 14 fractures to arms and legs, one fractured collar bone and one bruised spleen, the CPSC recalled the Landscape Structures Children's Slide due to fall hazard.

Are we really surprised? What is truly concerning is that many of the slides were purchased by schools. I'm curious to know what reputable school looked at this product and thought, "a 6' high slide without sides...let's buy it!"

They say a picture tells a thousand words and it certainly does in these photos:

"Take the damn picture and get me down from here!"

"I'm still alive, I'm still alive!"
