CPSC, Fisher-Price Announce Recall for In-Home Repair of Infant Swings

Consumers should stop using swings immediately and call Fisher-Price for help in inspecting the seat, to make sure the seat is properly attached. If the seat is not properly attached, a free replacement seat and revised instructions will be provided.
Sold at
Discount department and juvenile product stores nationwide sold these swings, from December 2001 through March 2002, for about $70.
Affected count
About 42,000
Injuries reported
Fisher-Price has received seven reports of the seats of the swings flipping forward, including four reports of babies hitting their heads on the floor. Though bumps and red marks were reported, there have been no serious injuries.
