Fisher-Price Snuga Swing Recall: What Parents Need to Know About This Dangerous Product

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Fisher-Price have announced a major recall affecting approximately 2.1 million Fisher-Price Snuga Swings sold in the United States. As experienced product liability attorneys who have handled numerous cases involving dangerous baby products, KBA Attorneys is closely monitoring this significant recall.

Understanding the Fisher-Price Snuga Swings Recall

The recall encompasses all models of Fisher-Price Snuga Swings sold between October 2010 and January 2024. These popular infant products, Snuga Swings, retail for about $160 at major retailers including Amazon, Walmart, and Target. Unfortunately,  five infant deaths between 2012 and 2022, linking to the swings.

The primary hazard stems from the Snuga Swing’s headrest and body support insert, which can increase suffocation risks when the product is used for sleep or when bedding materials are added. This recall affects 21 different models of the Snuga Swings platform, including popular versions like the My Little Snugakitty™ Cradle ‘n Swing and Sweet Snugapuppy™ Swing.

The Dangers of the Fisher-Price Snuga Swings

As product liability attorneys who have represented families in numerous baby product injury cases, we understand the devastating impact of unsafe infant products. The reported deaths from the Snuga Swing involved infants between 1 and 3 months of age, with most incidents occurring when:
– Infants were left unrestrained
– Bedding materials were added to the product
– The swing were used for sleep purposes

Families who Had a Fisher-Price Snuga have Legal Rights

If a Fisher-Price Snuga Swing injured your love one, you may be entitled to compensation through various product liability claims. The law differs from state to state, but in general the following claims are available.

1. Design Defect Claims: These claims argue that the fundamental design of the Snuga Swing was inherently dangerous, particularly regarding the hazardous headrest and body support insert.

2. Failure to Warn Claims: Despite known risks, questions exist about whether Fisher-Price adequately warned parents about the dangers of using the swing for sleep or with additional bedding.

3. Manufacturing Defect Claims: While less common, these claims might arise if specific units are improperly manufactured, creating additional hazards.

4. Marketing Misrepresentation Claims: If the product was marketed in a way that suggested it was safe for sleep or other unsafe uses, this could form the basis for legal action.
