Costco Recalls Swing After Reports of Seat Detaching Mid-Use
Memorial Day and summer are just around the corner. That means it’s the beginning of outdoor dinner parties and patio season. When it comes to preparing your space for a party, Costco is usually a good option. However, this week the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (USCPSC) announced that there’s a patio swing recall involving almost 20,000 units. Find out if yours is one of them and how to protect yourself, your family members, and your guests.
Why Is Costco Recalling Patio Swings?
Per the USCPSC, in the faulty swings, “the swing seat can detach from the frame while in use.” A sudden drop like this poses “a risk of serious injury or death from a fall hazard.” To date, there are eight reports of this happening. In all of them, the detachment caused injuries “including impact injuries to the head and arms.” Make alternative seating arrangements for your outdoor space for the time being. You can return to using your swing once you’ve either confirmed that it’s safe or finished the recommended repair.
Which Patio Swing Models Are Included in the Recall?
If you own an “Agio Menlo Woven Patio Swings with model number 1934256,” you need to exercise caution. 18,500 patio swings with that model number and sold by Costco between February and March of 2026 aren’t necessarily adequately attached to the frame.
If you’re unsure about the safety of your own swing, fear not. The recall brief says that “consumers who are unable to determine whether they have the recalled model can contact World Bright International Limited for assistance.” To be cautious, it’s a good idea to refrain from using your patio swing until you know for sure whether or not yours is included in the recall.
Is There a Fix Yet?
According to the recall brief, “consumers should immediately stop using the recalled patio swings and contact World Bright International Limited to receive a free repair in the form of replacement hooks and instructions for replacing the hooks.” Refrain from using your patio swing until you’ve replaced the hooks; no one wants to kick off their summer with a trip to the emergency room. If you have further questions, you can check the USCPSC site. The USCPSC number for this recall is 26-485.
