More than 2 million Fisher-Price Baby Swings were recalled today, October 10th, due to a suffocation hazard, that were sold at Walmart, Amazon, Sam’s Club, Toys R Us and Target from October 2010 through January 2024 for approximately $160!
The Snuga Swing platform has a total of 21 models, which feature the same design with minor differences in fabric colors and toy accessories. You can check out the entire CPSC’s list of recalled models here!
They are offering a $25 refund to consumers who remove both the headrest (by cutting the tether) and the body support insert from the seat pad before continuing to use the swing. You can find more instructions here.
Sadly, between 2012 and 2022, there have been reports of five deaths involving infants 1 to 3 months of age when the product was used for sleep. This is the reason consumers are reminded to never use these products for sleep and to never add blankets or other materials to the swing!
“Parents and caregivers should never use any inclined seated products, such as swings, gliders, soothers, and rockers, for infant sleep and should not leave infants in these products unsupervised, unrestrained, or with bedding material due to the risk of suffocation”.
