Fisher-Price Recalls Swing Set

0

Fisher-Price Inc said Wednesday that it is suspending sales and voluntarily recalling some of its Rainforest Open-Top Take-Along Swings.


The El Segundo-based subsidiary of Mattel Inc. said it is cooperating with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in recalling the swing sets. Fifty-five reports of infants becoming entrapped in the apparatus and suffering harm have been received, the company said in a statement.


The swing sets feature a palm tree mobile and two hanging plush toys. Model numbers K7203, K7192 and K7195 are included in the recall. The toymaker said that consumers should immediately stop using the swing and contact Fisher-Price for instructions on how to return it and receive a voucher for a replacement product.


The model numbers are located under the right handle on the swing. The swing sets were sold for $110 since November 2006.


Shares in Mattel, the parent company of Fisher-Price, were down 68 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $27.72 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.


In Canada, where a single mishap has been reported, only model number K7203 is being recalled.
