Plain-English summary

Big Lots is recalling approximately 6,900 Wilson & Fisher log-style garden swings sold in a natural wood finish. The recall is due to a fall hazard, as the two-person bench seat suspended between the wooden A-frame supports can break while in use.

The swings were sold at Big Lots stores nationwide from March 2012 through June 2012 for about $130. Big Lots has received 14 reports of swing seats breaking, which resulted in four reports of back pain and five reports of scratches and scrapes. The assembly instructions for the affected swings have item number JY1107 and SKU number 210020400 printed on the sheet.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled swing sets, detach the bench seat, and return it to any Big Lots store for a full refund. Consumers should destroy the remaining components.
