Fisher-Price Snuga Swings Recalled: Suffocation Hazard
A popular baby swing, the Fisher-Price Snuga Swings, has been recalled due to a potential suffocation hazard for infants. The recall was issued by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and affects hundreds of thousands of units.
The recall specifically concerns the Fisher-Price Snuga Swing models that were manufactured between July 2021 and February 2023. The issue stems from the potential for the swing's fabric straps to become entangled around a baby's neck, posing a risk of suffocation. If you own one of these swings, it's crucial to stop using it immediately.
Here's what you need to know:
- Affected Models: The recall applies to the Fisher-Price Snuga Swing models with model numbers GHW43, GHW44, GHW45, and GHW46. Check the swing's label for the model number.
- Risk: The risk of suffocation arises if the fabric straps become entangled around the baby's neck. This can happen if the straps are not properly secured or if the baby wriggles free from the swing's restraint.
- What to Do: If you own a recalled Snuga Swing, stop using it immediately and contact Fisher-Price for a full refund or replacement. You can find the contact information on the CPSC website or the Fisher-Price website.
- Safety First: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for using any baby product, and never leave a baby unattended in a swing or other baby product.
Parents and caregivers should be aware of the dangers posed by product recalls and take immediate action to protect their children. The CPSC provides valuable information and resources on product safety and recalls, so it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with their website and the importance of staying informed.
Keep your little ones safe by taking this recall seriously and contacting Fisher-Price for a refund or replacement. Remember, safety comes first!
