Fisher-Price has announced a recall of its Snuga Swing line after five tragic infant deaths have been associated with these products. This recall affects 21 different models, including the My Little Snugabunny Swing and My Little Snugapuppy Cradle ‘n Swing.
In a post on Instagram, Fisher-Price emphasized the importance of using the swing safely, stating, “The swing should never be used for sleep, and bedding materials should never be added to it.” The company warned that introducing bedding materials could elevate the risk of suffocation due to the design of the headrest and body support insert.
Key Details:
- The recall encompasses approximately 2.1 million Snuga swings sold in the U.S.
- Parents are advised to remove both the headrest and body support insert from the swing for safety.
- A refund of $25 is available for those who own the recalled swings.
- The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants should only sleep on their backs on a firm, flat surface.
