Wilson & Fisher Garden swings imported by Big Lots of Columbus, Ohio and manufactured by Anji Jiayi Garden Supplies Company of Xiaofeng Town, China are being recalled.
The swings were sold exclusively at Big Lots stores nationwide from March through June 2012. The Wilson & Fisher log-style swing sets sold in a natural wood finish. The swing's two-person bench seat is suspended between two wooden A-frame supports.
The wooden swing's seat can break while in use, posing a fall hazard to the consumer.
Big Lots has received 14 reports of swing seats breaking, resulting in four reports of back pain and five reports of scratches and scrapes.
About 6,900 of the swings have been recalled.
