CPSC, Graco Announce Recall of Infant Swings

Is my product affected?

Graco infant swings

  • Brand Graco Children's Products Inc., of Elverson, Pa.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Graco is recalling infant swings manufactured before November 1997 due to a strangulation and fall hazard. These older swings have restraint systems that consist only of a waist belt and a hinged or removable tray. If parts are missing, the restraints are not used properly, or the tray pops off, infants can slip down into the seat and strangle or fall from the swing.

Graco is offering consumers a free replacement safety restraint kit to upgrade the older swings. The new restraint system includes a buckle that ensures the crotch strap is used each time the waist belt is buckled, securing infants more securely. According to the record, consumers should stop using the swings immediately and call Graco to receive the free safety restraint. Consumers should have the swing in front of them when calling so Graco can determine if the swing needs the new restraint.
