February 18, 2026 — An incident report has highlighted a potential safety defect in the Lovevery Slide & Seek Ball Run, where a critical screw repeatedly comes undone, creating both choking and pinching hazards for young children.
Product Details
Incident Overview
On February 1, 2026, an incident was reported concerning the Lovevery Slide & Seek Ball Run. The consumer reported that a screw connecting the tower to the main box repeatedly comes undone. Despite attempts to re-secure the screw, the issue persists, leading to a recurring safety concern. The consumer contacted Lovevery, Inc. regarding the problem. In response, the manufacturer reportedly informed the consumer that this specific version of the product was not the same as a different, very similar item that had previously been recalled due to dangerous parts.
Safety Concerns
The repeated loosening of the screw in the Lovevery Slide & Seek Ball Run presents significant safety risks, particularly for the intended users – young children.
- Immediate dangers: A loose screw is a severe choking hazard for infants and toddlers, who are prone to putting small objects in their mouths. When the screw comes undone, the tower component becomes unstable, creating a pinching hazard where a child’s fingers or skin could get caught between moving or separating parts.
- Long-term risks: The recurring nature of the screw coming undone, even after attempted repairs, suggests a potential design or manufacturing flaw that compromises the toy’s structural integrity. This could lead to further parts loosening or detaching over time, introducing additional, unforeseen hazards.
- Who might be affected: Young children, especially infants and toddlers who explore objects orally and have delicate skin and fingers, are most at risk from these hazards.
- Property damage potential: While less direct than injury risks, a continuously malfunctioning toy could lead to frustration and potential damage if not properly addressed, though direct property damage from this specific incident seems unlikely.
What Consumers Should Do
Consumers who own the Lovevery Slide & Seek Ball Run should take immediate action to ensure the safety of their children:
- Immediately Stop Use: If you own this product and observe a loose screw or any instability in the tower component, immediately remove the toy from your child’s reach and discontinue use.
- Inspect Your Product: Carefully examine your Lovevery Slide & Seek Ball Run, paying close attention to all screws, especially those connecting the tower to the box. Look for any screws that appear loose, stripped, or that can be easily removed. Shake the toy gently to check for instability or rattling parts.
- Do Not Attempt DIY Repairs (If Unsuccessful): While the incident report indicates the consumer attempted repairs, if the screw continues to come undone, it indicates a persistent issue that a simple tightening may not resolve. Relying on an unstable repair could still pose a risk.
- Contact the Manufacturer: Reach out to Lovevery, Inc. directly to report the issue and inquire about potential solutions, replacements, or further guidance. Refer to their customer service channels for support.
- Report the Incident: File a detailed incident report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at SaferProducts.gov. Your report helps identify trends and can lead to investigations or recalls that protect other families.
