BCI Burke Company Inc. is recalling more than 400 Inclusive Orbit merry-go-rounds over concerns that the space between the rotating platform and the stationary outer rim can leave a gap that narrows too much, which can pose a crush hazard to riders, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

What’s the Problem?

According to the CPSC Recall Letter [1.], this recall affects the BCI Inclusive Orbit, a spinning play component, similar to a merry-go-round, for playgrounds.

“The space between the rotating platform and the stationary outer rim can leave a gap that narrows too much, posing a crushing hazard to children,” CPSC said. “The firm has received reports of two incidents of fingers getting trapped in the gap between the rotating platform and the outer rim, resulting in two finger crushing injuries.”

The recalled Playground Merry-Go-Rounds have 3 handrails and a seat, which are designed to hold up to 6 children. The platform surface is flush with the ground surrounding it. Recalled model numbers include 560-0042 or 560-0051.

Affected Playground Merry-Go-Rounds were sold through factory representatives directly to entities such as municipalities, schools and churches from April 2019 through October 2024 for between $11,900 and $14,550.

If you purchased a BCI Inclusive Orbit that is affected by this recall, you should stop using it immediately and contact the owner of the equipment, such as park director or school principal, to determine if equipment has been inspected and repaired. Contact BCI Burke to schedule an inspection and free onsite repair.

This recall began on December 26, 2024.

The CPSC Recall Number for this item is 25-080.
