Hazards
Metal inserts inside the swing seats can wear through and cause lacerations to children.
Reported injuries
Two children have been injured and received stitches to lacerations on an arm and a leg, from exposed metal on edges of swing seats.
Remedy
Owners should immediately stop children from using these swing seats and contact Miracle Recreation Co. for free replacement seats and hardware.
