Fisher-Price Recalls Thousands Of Infant Swings Due To Fall Hazard
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Fisher-Price is recalling about 34,000 cradle swings due to reports that the seat can fall unexpectedly, the company announced Thursday.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the recall includes the following three models of the Fisher-Price cradle swings:
• CHM84 Soothing Savanna Cradle 'n Swing
• CMR40 Sweet Surroundings Cradle 'n Swing
• CMR43 Sweet Surroundings Butterfly Friends Cradle 'n Swing
The swings have two different swinging motions - rocking side-to-side, or swinging head-to-toe, and six different swing speeds from low to high.
The recall comes after Fisher-Price received two reports of a seat peg coming out from the seat, causing the seat to fall. According to the company, no injuries have been reported.
To find out if your child's seat is among the ones being recalled, users should check the product number located on the seat under the pad.
Fisher-Price advises consumers to immediately stop using the recalled cradle swing and contact Fisher-Price for revised assembly instructions.
The swings were sold at BuybuyBaby, Target and other stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com and other websites from November 2015 through March 2016 for about $170.
To find out more, consumers can call Fisher-Price directly at 800-432-5437 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
