Incident Overview

According to the incident report dated April 27, 2026, a child experienced severe intermittent eye pain and light sensitivity, particularly outdoors or in bright light, for about a week. The parent took the child to an eye doctor, who discovered a metal shaving embedded in the child's eye that had begun to rust. The injury resulted in permanent scarring to the eye.

The swing had been installed indoors in the family's living room on March 6, 2026. The child was using the swing normally when the injury occurred. The parent observed significant wear and gouging on the carabiner from the swinging motion, leading them to believe the carabiner was not properly rated or designed for repeated use. The injury required medical evaluation and treatment, and the parent noted it could have resulted in more serious vision damage. The report is publicly available on SaferProducts.gov under report ID 6046290.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: The primary danger is that metal shavings from a worn carabiner can become airborne and enter the eye, causing corneal abrasions, embedded foreign bodies, and potential infection. In this case, the shaving rusted inside the eye, worsening the injury and leading to permanent scarring.

Long-Term Risks: Permanent vision loss or scarring can result from such injuries, especially if the foreign body causes infection or damages the cornea or retina. Rust can also cause chronic inflammation and further tissue damage.

Who Might Be Affected: Children using the swing are at highest risk because they are often at eye level with the carabiner and may not recognize signs of wear. Bystanders near the swing could also be struck by airborne debris.

Warning Signs: Visible wear, gouging, or metal shavings on the carabiner or swing hardware indicate that the component is degrading. Squeaking or rough movement during swinging may also suggest metal-on-metal friction that could produce shavings.
