Description
The Smart Response Swing is an indoor infant swing for use from birth until baby can sit up unassisted. The swing operates in response to a sound sensor and plays music. The metal legs of the swing are either blue or beige, and the seat is either beige or white. The Fisher-Price logo appears on the seat's tray. Product numbers 79644, 79645 or 79647 are molded onto the back of the seat.
Hazard
It is possible to misassemble the seats of these swings, so that they appear secure, but are not. If the seat of the swing is not properly attached, the seat and baby can flip forward.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using swings immediately and call Fisher-Price for help in inspecting the seat, to make sure the seat is properly attached. If the seat is not properly attached, a free replacement seat and revised instructions will be provided.
Incidents and injuries
Fisher-Price has received seven reports of the seats of the swings flipping forward, including four reports of babies hitting their heads on the floor. Though bumps and red marks were reported, there have been no serious injuries.
