The Hazard
FALL HAZARD
Agio Menlo Woven Patio Swings are being recalled because the seat can break away from the frame. This can happen while someone is using the swing, causing them to fall and get seriously hurt. There have been reports of injuries already, so it’s important to check if your swing is affected and take action.
The firm has received eight reports of the swing seat detaching from the swing frame, resulting in eight reports of injury including impact injuries to the head and arms. About 18,500 units are affected.
Technical Breakdown
The Agio Menlo Woven Patio Swings have a problem with the way the seat is attached to the frame. The S-hooks that connect the seat can fail, causing the seat to detach unexpectedly. This can lead to a sudden fall and potential injuries, including head and arm injuries.
The company, World Bright International Limited, has received multiple reports of the swing seat detaching. This indicates a flaw in the design or manufacturing process that needs to be addressed immediately. The recall aims to prevent further injuries by providing consumers with a free replacement S-hook that includes a clasp to secure the swing seat.
