The CPSC and Fisher-Price announced a recall of more than two million Fisher-Price Snuga Infant Swings on October 10, 2024. There have been five reported deaths involving infants associated with the product between 2012 and 2022. The affected products were sold at Amazon, Toys“R”Us, Walmart/Sam’s Club, and Target from October 2010 through January 2024 for $160. The recall asks consumers to remove and destroy the headrest and body support insert from the seat pad. Fisher-Price will provide a $25 incentive to consumers who do so. The refund is inadequate to incentivize consumer participation and fails to emphasize the urgency of a recalled product associated with five infant deaths. Unsafe sleep environments accounted for 76 percent of the fatalities reported between 2019 and 2021.
