Fisher-Price Recalls 34,000 Cradles Over Safety Concerns
After receiving two reports from consumers that the seat in its Cradle ’n Swings infant swing can fall to the ground, Fisher-Price has issued a recall of the devices.
In all, the recall covers 34,000 swings in three models — Soothing Savanna Cradle ‘n Swing, Sweet Surroundings Cradle ‘n Swing, and the Sweet Surroundings Butterfly Friends Cradle ‘n Swing .
A disengaged peg could cause the seat to fall to the ground unexpectedly.
According to a notice posted with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the seat peg of the swing may not be fully engaged. If this occurs, the seat may fall unexpectedly, poising a risk of injury to the child.
Fisher-Price says it has received two reports of seat pegs coming out from the seat, causing the seat to fall. No injuries occurred as a result of the falls.
Affected swings can be identified by a product number — CHM84; CMR40; or CMR43 — located on the seat under the pad.
Owners of the affected swings are urged to immediately stop using the recalled swing and contact Fisher-Price for new assembly instructions.
The following models have been recalled:
CHM84 Soothing Savanna \nCradle ‘n Swing
CMR40 Sweet Surroundings Cradle ‘n Swing
CMR43 Sweet Surroundings Butterfly Friends Cradle ‘n Swing
