Costco recalls 18,500 patio swings after seat detaches, eight hurt
The recalled black-framed Agio Menlo swing can detach in use, and eight injuries have already been reported. Costco sold it for up to $649.
Costco shoppers who bought an Agio Menlo Woven Patio Swing need to stop using it now. The swing seat can detach from the frame while someone is sitting in it, creating a serious fall hazard that has already been tied to eight reported injuries, including impacts to the head and arms.
The recall covers about 18,500 swings, model number 1934256, sold exclusively at Costco stores and on Costco.com from February 2026 through March 2026. The units sold for between $549 and $649. Costco sent recall notices to members the same day the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission posted the recall on May 14, 2026.
The affected swing has a black metal frame, black metal swing arms, a fabric canopy and a padded seat in brown outdoor wicker. The frame is about 75 inches high, 71 inches wide and 48 inches deep. The seat is about 58 inches wide and 19 inches deep. Those details matter because the product was marketed as a large backyard fixture, the kind of patio furniture that can sit in regular use for weeks before a defect becomes obvious.
World Bright International Limited is providing the remedy: a free repair kit with replacement hooks and instructions for replacing them. The importer is Costco Wholesale Corporation of Issaquah, Washington, and the distributor is World Bright International Limited of Hong Kong. The swings were manufactured in China. The recall number is 26-485.
The warning reflects a familiar risk in home-goods recalls: once a product is assembled, installed and used outdoors, the danger can be harder to spot and harder to police. In this case, the hazard is not a slow wear issue or a cosmetic defect. It is a structural failure that can send the seat away from the frame during use, turning a backyard swing into a fall risk.
