Fisher-Price recalled all models of its Snuga Swings after five babies between the ages of 1 month and 3 months died. The swings were used for sleep, which the CPSC said should never happen.
“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,” the CPSC said.
Infants should never sleep in inclined seats such as swings, gliders, soothers and rockers, the agency said.
Since 2010, about 2.1 million Snuga Swings have been sold in the U.S. while another 99,000 swings were sold in Canada and 500 swings were sold in Mexico.

The CPSC said the safest way to put an infant to sleep is to place them on their backs, on a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet or play yard with nothing but a fitted sheet.
