Which ones are recalled?
November 17, 1993 Release # 94-012 PRODUCT: Graco Carrier Swings and Convert-a-Cradle Swings manufactured between November 1991 and October 1992. The swings have detachable carrier seats with a three-position handle to control the recline position. PROBLEM: In the fully reclined position, infants can push themselves up and over the back of the seat, resulting in falls, loss of consciousness, or restricted breathing. WHAT TO DO: Consumers should call 1-800-345-4109 for a free retrofit kit. Consumers should NOT use the fully recline position of the carrier seat while it is attached to the swing. WASHINGTON, DC -- CPSC, Graco Children’s Products, Inc., Elverson, PA, is voluntarily announcing a retrofit program for certain Graco Carrier Swings and Convert-a-Cradle Swings. In the fully reclined position, infants have pushed themselves up and over the back of the seat. Five infants have fallen backward out of the swing onto the floor, and one was found unconscious suspended upside down. No permanent injuries resulted. To protect children from falls from the swings and possible injury, Graco is offering a free, easily installed attachment that will disable the fully recline position. Approximately 208,000 Carrier Swings and Convert-a-Cradle Swings were produced between November 1991 and October 1992 and distributed nationwide. The swings have detachable carrier seats with a three-position handle to control the recline position and retailed for approximately $60 or $100 each. Graco Carrier Swings and Convert-a-Cradle Swings with carrier seats having only two positions do not need a retrofit. All owners of Graco brand swings with detachable infant carriers should immediately check to see if the carrier seat handle adjusts to three positions. If the handle has three positions, call Graco at 1-800-345-4109 for a free retrofit kit and installation instructions. DO NOT USE the fully reclined position while the seat is attached to the swing.
