Newco's "Swing-N-Slide" belted swing seats, sold separately and with Scout and Pioneer swing set kits, have "V" shaped brackets connecting the seats to chains that can cause serious lacerations when the hook ends are not completely closed during installation. Approximately 500,000 seats were sold over six years at major retailers including Builders' Square, Lowe's, and Payless Cashways. Newco received 10 reports of lacerations to children's legs, arms, faces, and groin areas from open hooks on these seats.
Consumers who own these seats should check all belted seats for bracket hooks that are not completely closed and crimp or hammer the hooks shut until the metal touches. If the brackets cannot be completely closed, they should be replaced. Newco is offering free replacement brackets designed to prevent hook-end lacerations; consumers can obtain these by calling Swing-N-Slide Customer Service at 1-800-888-1232.
