  1. No one hurt

    Made Jun 28, 2020, sent to the company Jul 22, 2020, published by CPSC Aug 5, 2020

    The product, in the report: Mainstays Big and Tall Zero Gravity Outdoor Reclining 3246Swing, Green Camo

    Mainstays Big and Tall Zero Gravity Outdoor Reclining Swing, Green Camo

    Rated to hold up to 350lb

    One of the rods that holds the spring broke right in 2. It did not break at a seem. It did not break at a weld. It did not break at a screw. It broke slick in half. To give one an “idea” of what it looks like, it looks like you took a saw and cut a round pipe right in 2 BUT there are no saw marks. There are no “stretch” marks (indicating to much weight) I was sitting on it, not swinging (Thank God) but just sitting there and all of a sudden it snapped. I weigh 230lbs. The swing is 1 year old. The swing has ALWAYS sat on a covered porch out of the weather. It is not rusted. I have 2 other swings that are still in the box. I’m afraid to set them up now because this should not happen. If I was laid back & swinging, I could have been seriously hurt. I have pictures if someone can contact me.
