Ground-up recycled tires in playgrounds are being studied by the EPA for possible health risks.

“The study was prompted by other research suggesting potential hazards from repeated exposure to bits of shredded tire that can contain carcinogens and other chemicals, according to the documents… Chemicals in recycled tires could vary by location because tire manufacturers differ, EPA scientists said.”
