Recall status
Recall status unavailable. On 2026-10-12 we could not confirm from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall database whether a notice names the Mount McKinley Wooden Swing Set (the recall database did not answer when checked). Check CPSC's recall list before you buy.
Recall check. On 2026-10-12 we searched the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall database for Gorilla Playsets' notices and found none naming the Empire Extreme Swing Set. Notices can name a seller or importer instead of the maker, or describe a model in other words, so this is a dated search result, not a statement that the product has never been recalled; CPSC's recall list has anything newer.
