Incident Overview

On August 19, 2025, at approximately 6:30 PM, a child was using a hammock swing chair in the basement when the hanger supporting the hammock failed, causing the hammock to fall to the floor. The parent heard a loud sound and found the child on the ground, bleeding from the nose and the right side of the head. The child had a deep scalp laceration and was transported to the emergency department. Upon arrival, the child was disoriented, unable to see, and asked about the time and what happened.

According to the incident report, the hanger broke at the welded ring, which is part of the swivel threaded ring assembly. The reporter noted that the welded nut appeared to have a faulty weld. The child sustained a scalp laceration requiring four staples, a depressed skull fracture at the occipital bone, a blood clot in the main vein of the brain, concussion, balance issues, visual and hearing problems, headaches, vomiting, and cognitive, metabolic, and neurological issues. The child was hospitalized from August 19 to August 22, 2025, and continued to undergo treatment including CT scans, neurology visits, and scheduled MRI/MRV. The reporter stated the product was advertised as safe, strong, and durable with a 1200 lb capacity, and was still listed for sale on Amazon as of April 2026.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: A failure of the hanger during use can cause the supported object (e.g., hammock) to fall suddenly, leading to blunt force trauma from impact with the ground or nearby objects. In this incident, the child struck exercise equipment, resulting in skull fracture and intracranial bleeding.

Long-Term Risks: Head injuries from falls can have lasting neurological effects, including cognitive deficits, balance disorders, and visual or hearing impairments. The reported blood clot in the brain's main vein (cerebral venous sinus thrombosis) carries risks of stroke, seizures, and chronic headaches.

Who Might Be Affected: The primary user of the hammock is at risk, but bystanders below could also be struck by falling components. Children are especially vulnerable due to their smaller size and developing skulls.

Warning Signs: Potential indicators of imminent failure include visible cracking or deformation of the welded ring, unusual noises during use, or wobbling of the hanger. However, the failure in this incident occurred without prior warning, suggesting the defect may not be easily detectable.
