Fisher-Price is recalling parts of over 2 million infant swings across the U.S., Canada and Mexico due to a serious suffocation risk, following reports of five infant deaths.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warned that all models of Fisher-Price91裸聊视频檚 Snuga Swings should never be used for sleep or have bedding materials added. The products91裸聊视频� headrest and seat pad body support insert can increase risks of suffocation, the notice published Thursday said.
There have been five reports of deaths involving infants between 1 to 3 months old when the product was used for sleep, according to the commission. In most of those incidents, which took place from 2012 to 2022, bedding material was added to the product and the babies were unrestrained.
Consumers are urged to immediately cut off the headrest and remove the body-support insert before continuing to use the swing. New York-based Fisher-Price, a division of California toy giant Mattel, is providing a $25 refund to consumers who remove and destroy those parts of the product. Instructions can be found on Mattel91裸聊视频檚 recall website.
In a statement, CPSC Commissioner Richard L. Trumka Jr. slammed Fisher-Price for what he called a 91裸聊视频渇lawed91裸聊视频� recall, saying the remedy provided by the company is not enough.
The recall 91裸聊视频渋s doomed to fail and will keep many babies in harm91裸聊视频檚 way,91裸聊视频� Trumka . He criticized Fisher-Price for only recalling a portion of the product and offering consumers a fraction of the $160 they originally spent.
91裸聊视频淢y advice: get your $25 refund and then throw this product away; do not keep it in your homes because even after the so-called 91裸聊视频榬epair91裸聊视频� this product will still be unsafe for infant sleep,91裸聊视频� Trumka added.
He also argued that Fisher-Price was repeating past failures 91裸聊视频� pointing to related to products like the brand91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淩ock 91裸聊视频榥 Play91裸聊视频� and devices.
91裸聊视频淔isher-Price should know better than to skimp on another recall,91裸聊视频� Trumka stated. 91裸聊视频淔isher-Price can do more to save babies lives 91裸聊视频� I think it needs to.91裸聊视频�
A spokesperson for Mattel did not comment further about the recall when reached by The Associated Press Friday.
