CPSC, Fisher-Price Announce Recall of Infant Products Fisher-Price, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is voluntarily recalling two infant products. About 105,000 "3-in-1 Cradle Swings" with detachable carriers are being recalled, along with 235,000 "Bounce 'n Play Activity Domes."
Recall of 3-in-1 Cradle Swing With Detachable Carrier The 3-in-1 Cradle Swing has a detachable seat that can be used as a carrier. When used as a carrier, the locks for the handle can unexpectedly release, causing the seat to flip forward. When this happens, infants can fall to the ground and suffer serious injuries. There have been 28 reports of the carrier's handle unexpectedly releasing when used as a carrier, resulting in injuries to 10 infants. The injuries include a skull fracture, bumps, bruises and scrapes to the head. According to the reports, some injuries occurred to infants who were restrained in the seat. The recalled Fisher-Price 3-in-1 Cradle Swings are model numbers 79321 and 79322. The model number is on the underside of the motor housing and on the bottom of the seat. "Fisher-Price" is on the front of the motor's housing and on the bottom of the seat. Only swings with detachable carriers are included in this recall. Mass merchandise, juvenile products and major discount stores sold the 3-in-1 Cradle Swings nationwide from March 1997 through January 1999 for about $100. Consumers should stop using the swing's seat as a carrier immediately. Fisher-Price will provide a free repair kit that will lock the carrier's handle in place. The repair can be done quickly and easily in the home. Consumers can continue to use the seat as intended as a cradle swing. Fisher-Price Cradle Swings that do not have a detachable carrier (model numbers 79454, 79456 and 79386) are not included in this recall. To receive a free repair kit for this infant product, or for more information, consumers should call Fisher-Price at 1-800-505-0600, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET. The free repair kits are available only through Fisher-Price. CPSC, Fisher-Price Announce Recall of Infant Products Fisher-Price, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is voluntarily recalling two infant products. About 105,000 "3-in-1 Cradle Swings" with detachable carriers are being recalled, along with 235,000 "Bounce 'n Play Activity Domes."
The Bounce 'n Play Activity Dome is a portable play and nap space for indoor and outdoor use. The product resembles a pop up tent. It features a zippered canopy attached to a raised metal frame that suspends the play and nap surface so that it can bounce. The nylon bands that hold the surface level can detach allowing the surface to tilt. This can cause an infant to slide down against one end and be trapped in a position in which it is difficult to breathe, posing a suffocation hazard. There have been 28 reports of the nylon band detaching and causing the play and nap surface to tilt. No injuries have been reported. To determine if the Bounce 'n Play Activity Dome is part of the recall, check the "notice" tag on the bottom of the product. First, look for model number 79534 on the left side of the tag. Then, check for a 6-character code on the bottom center of the tag. If the code ends with number 8, the dome is recalled. If the code ends with number 9 and begins with numbers 001 through 286, the dome is recalled. Only products with these codes are recalled. Products with codes ending in the letters SJ are not affected. "Fisher-Price" is on the canopy of the product.
Mass merchandise, juvenile products and major discount stores have sold the Bounce 'n Play Activity Domes nationwide from December 1998 through March 2000 for about $50. Consumers should stop using the Bounce 'n Play Activity Dome immediately. Fisher-Price will provide a free repair kit that will strengthen the support for the play and nap surface to keep it level. The repair can be done quickly and easily in the home. Fisher-Price Bounce 'n Play Activity Domes with a green dot on the bottom of the product and a "quality approved" sticker on the box have already been repaired and are not recalled.
