Hags AB Recalls Slide After Fatal Child Accident

Hags AB has initiated a recall of a specific slide model following a tragic accident in which a child died after becoming trapped. The incident occurred when a child was wearing a reflective vest and the slide's starting section was missing, creating a hazardous situation. The recalled slide was sold by Hags AB from 1980 to 2018. In response, the company is urging customers who own this particular slide without the starting section to purchase a safety kit designed to prevent entrapment risks for children who wear loose clothing, such as vests. If customers choose not to acquire this kit, Hags AB and the Swedish Consumer Agency (Konsumentverket) strongly advise discontinuing use of the slide immediately to avoid further risk. The recall highlights important safety concerns about playground equipment, with Hags AB actively taking steps to address potential dangers following the fatal accident.
