Fisher-Price Snuga Swing Recall
In October 10, 2024, over 2 million Fisher-Price Snuga Swings were recalled after 5 babies suffocated to death when the product was used for sleep.
What Should I Do?
The Snuga Swing should NEVER be used for sleep. Do not add blankets, stuffed animals, pillows, or other materials, because these extra materials can increase the risk of suffocation or death.
“If the product is used for sleep or bedding material is added, the headrest and body support insert on the seat pad can increase the risk of suffocation,” according to the recall.
You Must Remove Headrest and Body Pillow
Fisher-Price is urging parents and caregivers to remove both the headrest (by cutting the tether) and the body support insert from the seat pad before continuing to use the swing for awake-time activities.
How Many Babies Died?
Between 2012 and 2022, at least 5 babies suffocated to death when the Fisher-Price Snuga Swing was used for sleep. The infants were between 1 month and 3 months of age. In most reports, the infants were unrestrained and bedding materials were added to the swing.
What Is The Fisher-Price Snuga Swing?
The Fisher-Price Snuga Swing is an infant swing product that rocks with a front-to-back and side-to-side motion. The baby sits in a seat that has an inclined backrest, which poses safety hazards for sleep.
About 2.1 million Snuga Swings were sold at Amazon, Toys R Us, Walmart/Sams Club, and Target from October 2010 to January 2024.
The recall involves all 21 models of the Snuga Swing. They have the same design with slight differences in fabric colors and accessories.
How Do I Get My $25 Refund?
Fisher-Price sold the Snugs Swing for $160, but the company is only offering a $25 refund. To get a refund, customers must remove and destroy the headrest (by cutting the tether) and the body support insert from the seat pad.

Over 100+ Baby Deaths Linked to Inclined Sleepers
Parents and caregivers should NEVER use any inclined baby sleeper products when a baby is not awake or being supervised. Inclined sleepers have been linked to more than 100 infant deaths when babies suffocated to death.
Fisher-Price Snuga Swing Lawsuits
Fisher-Price has faced numerous lawsuits for babies who died in products like the Rock ‘n Play, which was not recalled until after dozens of infants suffocated to death. There is no excuse for baby products that pose deadly safety hazards for vulnerable infants.
If your baby was injured, suffocated, or died in a Fisher-Price Snuga Swing, you may be able to file a lawsuit and seek justice. You can hold Fisher-Price accountable for selling a dangerous baby product.
Snuga Swing Recall “Not Good Enough” To Keep Babies Safe
Safety officials are warning that the Snuga Swing recall is “not good enough to keep babies safe.”
According to CPSC Commissioner Richard Trumka: “The product remains unsafe for infant sleep, yet Fisher-Price encourages “continuing to use the swing.”
Fisher-Price sold the Snuga Swing for $160, but is only offering a $25 refund. This “dangerous approach will keep babies at risk of death just to save Fisher-Price money—a horrible example of putting profit over people.”
“My advice: get your $25 refund and then throw this product away; do not keep it in your homes because even after the so-called “repair” this product will still be unsafe for infant sleep.”
