Fisher-Price recalls over 2 million infant swings after five deaths reported

(WHTM) — A recall has been issued for more than 2 million Fisher-Price infant swings after five deaths were reported.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), all models of the Fisher-Price Suga Swings are being recalled due to a suffocation hazard.

CPSC says that between 2012 and 2022, there have been reports of five deaths involving infants 1-3 months of age when the product was used for sleep. In most of these instances the infants were unrestrained and bedding materials were added to the product.

This recall includes approximately 2.1 million units that were sold in the United States, about 99,000 swings that were sold in Canada, and about 500 sold in Mexico. These swings were sold at Amazon, Toys R Us, Walmart, Sam’s Club, and Target locations nationwide from October 2010 through January 2024 for about $160.

The following chart includes a list of all 21 Fisher Price Snuga Swing models included in the recall:

Moving forward, consumers should immediately remove both the headrest (by cutting the tether) and the body support insert from the seat pad before continuing use.

Fisher-Price will provide a $25 refund to consumers who remove and destroy the headrest and body support insert.

Instructions for the refund can be found here .

It should be noted that consumers are reminded to never use these kinds of products for sleep and to never add blankets or other materials to the swing.
