Issue

As of October 7, 2024, the company has received 5 reports of deaths involving infants when the Fisher-Price Snuga Swing was used for sleep.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Fisher-Price Snuga Swing and remove the headrest (by cutting the tether) and the body support insert from the seat pad before continuing to use the product. Consumers may contact Mattel to receive a partial refund for the headrest and body support insert.
For more information, consumers can contact Mattel by telephone at 1-855-853-6224, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm EST, from Monday to Friday or visit the company website.
