CPSC Urgent Warning: Wenzhou Yidian WPX-4 Slide Playset Linked to Toddler Death — Dispose Immediately

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued an urgent safety warning on August 13, 2026, instructing families to immediately stop using Wenzhou Yidian Amusement Equipment Co., Ltd. Model WPX-4 indoor/outdoor slide playsets. A 17-month-old child died from head and neck entrapment in the unit. The manufacturer has not agreed to a formal recall, and the CPSC cannot mandate one — the warning is the strongest action currently available.

Families who own this playset should stop using it immediately, place it in the trash, and not sell or give it to another family under any circumstances.

How to Identify the Playset

The Wenzhou Yidian Model WPX-4 is a colorful plastic indoor/outdoor playset that includes a tunnel, a slide, and a basketball hoop. It was sold online — including on Amazon and similar platforms — and was marketed for both indoor and outdoor use.

If you have a colorful plastic playset with these components and these colors, check the product for the model number WPX-4 before allowing children near it again.

Why This Is a Warning — Not a Recall

A traditional CPSC recall requires the manufacturer's cooperation. In most recalls, the company and the CPSC reach an agreement on a remedy — a refund, a repair, or a replacement. In this case, Wenzhou Yidian has not agreed to an acceptable recall. The CPSC can issue the warning and urge disposal, but it cannot compel the company to fund a return program or offer refunds.

That means there is no official recall mechanism. There is no phone number to call for a prepaid label. There is no refund process. The CPSC's instruction is direct: stop using it and throw it away.

What to Do Right Now

If you have the WPX-4 or any playset that matches this description: take it out of use immediately. Do not allow children access to the unit until you've confirmed the model number. If it is the WPX-4, place it in the trash. Do not sell it online, do not give it to a family member, and do not donate it. The CPSC's guidance is unambiguous on this point — passing it along puts another child at risk.

If you're unsure whether your playset is the WPX-4, check CPSC.gov for the full product warning and photos before letting children use it again.

What's Next

The CPSC's warning remains active. Watch CPSC.gov for any updates — if the manufacturer later agrees to a recall, a remedy program would be established at that point. For now, disposal is the only recommended action. Families who purchased the unit through Amazon may also want to check their order history to confirm the exact model number if they're uncertain. If you see this playset listed for sale online or in a local buy-sell group, reporting the listing to the platform and to CPSC.gov helps keep it out of other families' hands.
