According to the CPSC recall announcement, the recalled swing seats can unexpectedly break in half, causing the users to fall to the ground.  Rainbow Play Systems has received 84 reports of broken swing seats, including one report of an injury. A 2-year-old girl suffered a broken wrist when she fell to the ground after the sling swing unexpectedly broke in half. 

The description of the recalled swing set seats from the CPSC recall announcement is as follows:

The recall involves sling swing seats sold as an accessory with Carnival, Sunshine, and Rainbow Series residential play structures manufactured by Rainbow Play Systems, Inc. The seats are about 25 inches in length and were sold in red, yellow, blue and green with 64-inch yellow or green dipped chains. The seats have pointed ends with three black dots and black grommets.

The recalled swing set seats were sold through Rainbow Play Systems distributors and dealers nationwide from July 2004 through February 2005 as part of Carnival, Sunshine and Rainbow Series play structures that cost between $1,500 and $2,000.  The swing seat could also be purchased as a stand-alone accessory for about $50 to $60.
