Houston, TX, August 14, 2026 —
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued an urgent safety warning regarding specific slide playsets manufactured by Wenzhou Yidian Amusement Equipment Co., Ltd. Families are strongly advised to immediately cease using Model WPX-4 indoor and outdoor slide playsets due to a significant risk of head and neck entrapment.
This stern warning comes in the wake of a tragic incident where a 17-month-old child died in an entrapment event involving these playsets. The CPSC highlighted that the design of these slides poses a danger that could lead to serious injury or fatality.
Consumers who own the affected Model WPX-4 playsets are instructed by the CPSC to dispose of the products immediately. Furthermore, the agency explicitly cautions against selling or giving away these slides, emphasizing the ongoing risk they present to new users. The CPSC noted that the manufacturer, Wenzhou Yidian Amusement Equipment Co., Ltd., has not yet agreed to an acceptable recall plan for the product.
The commission urges all consumers to be vigilant and to take immediate action to remove these potentially dangerous playsets from their homes and play areas to prevent further tragedies.
