Fisher-Price is recalling parts of “Snuga Swings” due to a serious suffocation risk.
Fisher-Price is recalling parts of more than 2 million infant “Snuga Swings” due to a serious suffocation risk, following reports of five infant deaths.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued an alert on Thursday that said “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.”
Between 2012 and 2022, there were five reports of deaths documented that involved infants between the ages of 1 to 3 months old using the swing for sleep, according to the CPSC. The commission noted that the children were unrestrained and the swings had bedding material added in most of these incidents.
Owners of Snuga Swings are advised to “immediately remove” the headrest and body support insert on the seat pad before using them again for “awake-time activities” only.
