Quick answer (October 8, 2026): Pacearth Direct has recalled approximately 110,550 PACEARTH U-type swing seats sold on Amazon between May 2017 and June 2026. The swing seat or its attachment hardware can fail and cause a fall. Federal regulators report at least 30 falls and nine injuries. Stop using the affected seat. For a full refund, write “RECALLED” on it, photograph both the marking and PACEARTH logo and email the image to recall@pacearth.com. The CPSC recall notice is the definitive reference.
How to tell whether your swing is recalled
The notice identifies PACEARTH U-type swing seats, not every swing sold online. The seats came in green, blue, pink, red and turquoise, with yellow-coated chains. Packages included metal carabiners or quick links and yellow webbing straps for installation on outdoor swing sets or tree branches. Both single-seat and two-seat packages are affected. Check the PACEARTH logo and your order history; color alone cannot establish that a product is outside the recall.

The CPSC notice does not publish a limited serial-number range. Do not assume an older purchase or an apparently sound chain makes a matching product safe. If the seat’s branding is illegible, ask Pacearth Direct for identification guidance rather than making a guess.
What can break, and what injuries were reported?
The potential failure points include the seat itself, a metal carabiner or quick link, and the yellow webbing straps. If one fails while someone is riding, the person may fall. Pacearth Direct reported at least 30 falls and at least nine injuries to the CPSC, including fractures, head injuries and bruising. These are recorded reports, not a probability estimate for any individual seat. Visual inspection is not a substitute for obeying the recall.
PACEARTH refund: the exact photo steps
- Stop use immediately. Keep children away from the recalled seat and loose attachments.
- Check the brand. Verify the PACEARTH logo and compare the seat and included hardware with the official description.
- Mark the seat. Write RECALLED in permanent marker on the swing seat.
- Photograph it. Make sure the image shows the writing and the PACEARTH logo clearly.
- Email the company. Send the image to recall@pacearth.com and request the full refund procedure, referencing recall 27-019.
The CPSC describes a full refund, not a replacement or self-repair. It does not promise a fixed number of days for payment and does not require an open Amazon return window. If you retained an Amazon order number, keep it handy; the public notice does not say an original receipt is mandatory. Follow the company’s response for any additional information needed to process the request.
Should you repair the swing or add extra hardware?
No. The recall does not authorize a homemade repair, a different carabiner or an extra knot as a remedy. Multiple components are implicated. Discontinue use until the product is removed from service, and do not reinstall it just to take a picture.
What if you have already thrown it away?
The public instructions describe photographing a marked seat. If yours is already discarded, explain that to Pacearth Direct and provide available purchase documentation. Do not recreate or alter a photo to pretend the seat is still in your possession.
Why this is different from other swing recalls
Similar-looking swings from other manufacturers can have separate recalls with different fixes. A replacement remedy described in another article may not apply here. Use the CPSC recall search to match a brand and product precisely. AVARIXO also maintains an Alerts section covering unrelated product safety notices; for example, the ABC Trading squishy-toy recall is a different product and different hazard.
Safety checklist for families
Remove the recalled swing from children’s access. Do not load-test it or allow a final ride. If someone has fallen, assess injuries and seek medical care when appropriate, especially following a significant head impact. Report a safety incident through SaferProducts.gov; that reporting portal does not replace sending the refund request to the manufacturer.
