WASHINGTON, D.C.—The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Fisher-Price are announcing the recall of Fisher-Price Snuga Swings. The swing should never be used for sleep and bedding materials should never be added to it. If the product is used for sleep or bedding material is added, the headrest and body support insert on the seat pad can increase the risk of suffocation. Consumers should immediately remove both the headrest (by cutting the tether) and the body support insert from the seat pad before continuing to use the swing for awake-time activities.
Between 2012 and 2022, there have been reports of five deaths involving infants 1 to 3 months of age when the Fisher-Price Snuga Swing was used for sleep. In most of the incidents, the infants were unrestrained, and bedding materials, such as blankets, were added to the swing, which is dangerous, according to the agency.
The recall covers 2.1 million swings sold in the U.S. at places including Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us from October 2010 through January 2024.
The Snuga Swing is an infant swing that moves front-to-back and side-to-side. It features 90 degrees of rotation, two seat back positions, and folds for storage.
Consumers who own a Snuga Swing should immediately remove both the headrest and the body support insert from the seat pad before continuing to use the swing for awake-time activities, the CPSC said.
The agency also noted that parents and caregivers should never use any inclined seated products, such as swings, gliders, soothers and rockers, for infant sleep. They should also not leave infants in these products unsupervised, unrestrained or with bedding material due to the risk of suffocation.
Instead, infants should be placed on their backs on firm and flat surfaces such as a crib, bassinet or play yard with nothing but a fitted sheet, according to the CPSC.
Consumers can get a $25 refund from Fisher-Price for removing and destroying the headrest and body support insert.
