Product Details

Product name Creative Playthings Indoor Gym House
Description The Creative Playthings Indoor Gym House consists of a hollow, fiberboard-and-wood box 20 inches in height which supports a two-step wooden ladder on one side and a short slide on the opposite side. The top of the box or "platform" serves as a bridge between the ladder and the slide and is protected on two sides by wooden railings. This product is intended for use by children ages 18 months through 3 ½ years. This Indoor Gym House had to be assembled by the owner. 
Problem The space between the upper rung of the ladder and the platform is small enough for a child's head to be inserted and become entrapped creating a potential for strangulation. 
Distribution Sold in toy stores and other retail outlets nationwide. 
Company Creative Playthings, a unit of Gabriel Industries, a division of CBS Inc.,(800) 847-4359.
