Fisher-Price recalls over 2 million infant swings after 5 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 the possibility of suffocation.

The CPSC said five deaths involving infants 1 to 3 months old were reported between 2012 and 2022. The swings were being used for sleep, and in most of the instances, “the infants were unrestrained and bedding materials were added to the product.”

“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,” the CPSC warned.

The recalled swing has two seat back positions and moves front to back and side to side. It also folds for storage.

The recall includes about 2.1 million swings sold in the U.S. from October 2010 through January 2024 at Amazon, Toys R Us, Walmart, Sam’s Club and Target locations. About 99,000 more were sold in Canada and about 500 in Mexico.

The following is a list of all 21 of the affected models of the Fisher-Price Snuga Swing:

Consumers still using the swings should remove both the headrest and the body support insert from the seat pad. Fisher-Price is offering a $25 refund to those who remove and destroy them.
