A 5-year-old girl was swinging on a new swing that she received for her birthday.

As she was swinging backwards the chain holding the swing snapped and she fell backwards. The plaintiff has a broken neck and it is doubtful whether she will ever walk again. The cause of the accident was a structural defect in the metal chain links which supported the swing.
