Various Fisher-Price baby swings are being recalled across Canada after 5 reported deaths
Several Fisher-Price baby swings are being recalled across Canada following reports of infant deaths linked to the products.
Health Canada issued a recall for the Fisher-Price Snuga Swings on Thursday due to a suffocation hazard, advising parents to immediately stop using the swings in certain conditions. This recall follows five reports of infant deaths where the swings were used for sleep, which should never be done, according to Health Canada.
"If the product is used for sleep or bedding material is added, the headrest and body support insert on the seat pad can increase the risk of suffocation," the recall notice says.
The recall includes 12 different Fisher-Price Snuga Swing models, manufactured by Mattel Inc. If you have one of the following products, check the model number on the underside of the swing's motor compartment:
- My Little Snugabunny Swing (CCF38)
- My Little Snugabear Cradle 'n Swing (CHM56)
- My Little Snugabear Ballerina Cradle 'n Swing (CHM69)
- Moonlight Meadow Swing (CHM78)
- Sweet Snugapuppy Swing (DRG43)
- Fawn Meadows Deluxe Swing (GNG38)
- Peek-a-boo Fox Swing (GNG40)
- Dots & Spots Puppy Swing (GVF83)
- My Little Snugabunny Cradle 'n Swing (V0099)
- My Little Sweetie Deluxe Cradle ‘n Swing (W9510)
- My Little SnugaMonkey Cradle 'n Swing (X7051)
- My Little Snugapuppy Cradle 'n Swing (X7345)
If you own one of these swings, Health Canada advises that you should stop using it immediately, remove the headrest and body support insert, and contact Mattel for a partial refund. The swings were sold in Canada from 2012 to 2022, and about 99,000 units were distributed.
Health Canada is also reminding the public that recalled products cannot be resold, and parents should contact Mattel directly for more information.
