Thousands of patio swings sold at Costco are being recalled because the seats can suddenly detach while in use, creating what officials describe as a “risk of serious injury or death from a fall hazard.”
World Bright International Limited is recalling about 18,500 Agio Menlo Woven Patio Swings following eight incidents in which the swing seat separated from the frame, resulting in at least eight injuries, according to a May 14 notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
“The firm has received eight reports of the swing seat detaching from the swing frame, resulting in eight reports of injury, including impact injuries to the head and arms,” CPSC said.

The products were sold at Costco stores nationwide and online at Costco.com between February and March 2026 for between $549 and $649.

Costco and World Bright International Limited did not immediately respond to FOX Business’ request for comment.
