The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Far East Brokers and Consultants Inc., has announced a voluntary recall of about 750 log swings, due to a fall endanger posed to consumers whether a lost nail connecting the back of the log chair to the seat separates from the seat while in use. Far East Brokers has received six reports of the log chair separating, including three reports of minor injuries.

Manufactured in China and sold at Grand Union Family Markets, Ingle’s Markets, VG’s Food Center, Plumb’s Valu-Rite Foods, and Central Shoprite stores

from February 2008 through May 2008 for about $150, the recall involves a log swing that hangs from a log frame. The swing seats two citizens. Please see the CPSC press release for more details.

Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled log swing and return the disassembled parts to the store where purchased for a full refund. For more knowledge, contact Far East Brokers and Consultants at (877) 695-8354 or visit the firm’s website at www.fareastbrokers.com.
