Which children’s products were recalled in California? Why?
On Oct. 8, City of Industry-based Pacearth Direct recalled Pacearth U-type swing seats because parts can break during use.
The recalled swings come in various colors, including green, blue, pink, red and turquoise. They have chains coated in yellow plastic and include metal carabiners or quick links and yellow webbing straps for attaching the seats to outdoor swing sets or tree branches.
The seats were sold individually and in packs of two.
“The seats, metal carabiners or quick links, or webbing straps of the recalled swing seats can break during use, posing a risk of serious injury due to fall hazard,” the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
