Latest PACEARTH Swing Seat Recall Developments
October 2026
October 9, 2026 – ConsumerAffairs reported on the newly announced PACEARTH recall, emphasizing that approximately 110,550 swing seats were affected and that consumers should immediately stop using the products because components can break during use. The report also noted the nine injuries reported by Pacearth Direct. [1]
October 8, 2026 – CPSC announced Recall No. 27-019 for PACEARTH U-type swing seats after at least 30 reports of falls resulted in at least nine injuries, including fractures, head injuries, and bruising. CPSC said the seats, metal carabiners or quick links, or webbing straps can break during use and directed consumers to stop using the swings immediately. [2]
October 8, 2026 – National news coverage of the recall reported that the affected swings were sold on Amazon.com between May 2017 and June 2026 for approximately $27 to $57. Consumers seeking the refund are instructed to mark the seat as recalled and submit a photograph showing the PACEARTH logo. [3]
What Is the PACEARTH Swing Seat Recall?
The recall involves PACEARTH U-type outdoor swing seats distributed by Pacearth Direct. The products were designed to attach to an outdoor swing set or tree branch and were sold either individually or in packs of two.
The swings were available in several colors, including green, blue, pink, red, and turquoise. Their chains are covered in yellow plastic, and the products were supplied with metal carabiners or quick links and yellow webbing straps used to suspend the swing.
Why Were PACEARTH Swing Seats Recalled?
CPSC states that several parts of the swing assembly can fail during use. These include the swing seat itself, metal carabiners or quick links, and the webbing straps.
If one of these components breaks while a person is swinging, the seat can suddenly drop or detach. The user can then fall to the ground or strike nearby structures, creating a risk of serious injury.
How Many PACEARTH Swing Seats Were Recalled?
The recall covers approximately 110,550 PACEARTH swing seats sold in the United States.
The products were sold online through Amazon.com from May 2017 through June 2026 for approximately $27 to $57.
What Injuries Have Been Reported?
Pacearth Direct received at least 30 reports of people falling while using the recalled swing seats. At least nine injuries were reported.
CPSC specifically identified fractures, head injuries, and bruising among the reported injuries. The agency characterized the product defect as creating a risk of serious injury from a fall.
Why Can a Swing Failure Cause Serious Injuries?
A swing places a user above the ground while also moving forward and backward. If the seat or suspension hardware fails unexpectedly, the user may have little or no opportunity to brace for impact.
The resulting fall can involve direct impact with the ground, swing frame, tree, or other surrounding objects. Injury severity can depend on the height of the swing, speed of movement, landing surface, and the user’s age and position at the time of failure.
How Can Consumers Identify the Recalled Swing?
The recall applies to PACEARTH U-type swing seats sold in green, blue, pink, red, and turquoise.
The products have chains coated in yellow plastic. Metal carabiners or quick links and yellow webbing straps were included to connect the seat to outdoor swing sets or tree branches.
The recalled swings were sold either as a single seat or as a two-pack. Consumers can also look for the PACEARTH logo used in the company’s refund verification process.
Where Were the PACEARTH Swing Seats Sold?
The recalled swing seats were sold online at Amazon.com between May 2017 and June 2026.
They were distributed by Pacearth Direct of City of Industry, California, and manufactured in China.
What Should Consumers Do With a Recalled PACEARTH Swing?
Consumers should stop using the recalled swing seats immediately and contact Pacearth Direct for a full refund.
As part of the refund process, consumers are instructed to write “RECALLED” on the swing seat using permanent marker. They should then photograph the product with the PACEARTH logo visible and email the photograph to recall@pacearth.com.
Can the Hardware Simply Be Replaced?
The official CPSC remedy is a full refund rather than a replacement carabiner, strap, chain, or seat component.
Consumers should therefore follow the recall instructions instead of continuing to use the product after replacing individual pieces of hardware on their own.
Who May Be Affected?
People who purchased PACEARTH U-type swing seats from Amazon between May 2017 and June 2026 may possess an affected product.
Consumers who fell after a seat, carabiner, quick link, strap, or other component failed may have injury evidence relevant to an individual product-liability evaluation.
What Evidence May Matter in a PACEARTH Swing Seat Claim?
- The recalled PACEARTH swing seat and attachment hardware
- Photographs showing the failed seat, straps, links, or carabiners
- Amazon purchase or order records
- Photographs of the installation location
- Medical records documenting fractures, head injuries, or other trauma
- Emergency room, ambulance, or hospital records
- Witness statements or photographs of the accident scene
- Communications with Pacearth Direct regarding the recall or refund
Preserving the failed component can be particularly important because it may help establish how the swing separated or broke.
Who May Be Liable for a PACEARTH Swing Seat Injury?
Potential liability depends on the facts of the incident and applicable law. Manufacturers, importers, distributors, retailers, and other entities in the product’s supply chain may potentially be evaluated after an alleged defective-product injury.
Possible legal theories may include design defect, manufacturing defect, failure to warn, negligence, breach of warranty, or other state-law claims. The existence of a CPSC recall does not by itself establish civil liability.
Current PACEARTH Swing Seat Lawsuit and Recall Status
The documented federal action is CPSC Recall No. 27-019, announced October 8, 2026, covering approximately 110,550 PACEARTH swing seats.
The cited CPSC and news materials do not announce a class action, multidistrict litigation proceeding, or coordinated personal-injury settlement involving these recalled swings.
Individual claims may still warrant review when an affected swing allegedly failed and caused a medically documented injury such as a fracture, head injury, or other serious trauma.
Do I Qualify for a PACEARTH Swing Seat Claim?
- Did you or your child use a recalled PACEARTH U-type swing seat?
- Did the seat, carabiner, quick link, webbing strap, or other component break during use?
- Did the failure cause a fall and a medically documented injury?
- Can you document the swing, purchase, failure, accident, or medical treatment?
Answering yes to one or more questions does not automatically establish a lawsuit. An attorney can review the product, alleged failure, injury evidence, damages, and applicable filing deadlines to determine whether further investigation may be appropriate.
Legal Process for a PACEARTH Swing Seat Claim
- Free case review. An attorney reviews the recalled swing, alleged failure, injuries, and available documentation.
- Investigation. Evidence may include the swing and hardware, Amazon records, photographs, medical records, witness statements, and CPSC recall information.
- Filing. If the evidence and applicable law support a claim, a product-liability lawsuit may be filed against one or more potentially responsible parties.
- Discovery/negotiation. The parties may exchange evidence, obtain testimony, consult engineering or medical experts, and discuss possible resolution.
- Resolution. A case may conclude through settlement, dismissal, court ruling, or trial depending on its facts and procedural history.
Compensation in a PACEARTH Swing Seat Injury Case
Depending on the circumstances, a claim may seek compensation for emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, lost income, pain and suffering, future medical care, and other losses allowed by applicable law.
Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
