Playskool 1-2-3- Swing

Description

WASHINGTON, D.C. - CPSC, Playskool, of Pawtucket, R.I., is voluntarily recalling 123,000 1-2-3 Swings. Although most consumers have not had a problem with the 1-2-3- Swing, 50 consumers have reported that children have fallen out of the swing, resulting in injuries ranging from bumps and bruises to a broken nose. The swings can convert to three styles: infant swing, chair swing, and seat swing. As an infant swing, the restraint shield on the front of the swing may appear to be locked in place when it is not. As a result, children can sustain injuries by falling from the swing. CPSC Chairman Ann Brown said, "I commend Playskool for bringing this issue to CPSC's attention and working voluntarily with CPSC to recall the swings quickly." The 1-2-3 Swing is made of plastic with a blue seat, yellow chair back, red T-shaped restraint, green trim, and yellow ropes. It is packaged in a blue cardboard box, which reads in part, "PLAYSKOOL 1-2-3 Swing ... Toddler... Preschool ... Infant ... 6 mos. - 8 yrs. ... 1 Infant Swing ... 2 Chair Swing ... 3 Seat Swing.." The swing was sold nationwide between March and May 1995 through wholesale and retail outlets for about $25.00. Consumers who own a 1-2-3 Swing should stop using the swing immediately and return the product to the store where purchased for a full refund. Consumers with questions can call Playskool toll-free at (800) PLAYSKL (752-9755) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.

Frequently Asked Questions

Follow the consumer action instructions in the recall notice above. Most recalls require you to stop using the product and contact the manufacturer directly — either by calling the toll-free number listed in the official CPSC notice or by visiting the manufacturer's website. You generally do not need a receipt or original packaging to claim a remedy. The manufacturer is legally required to provide the remedy (Refund) at no cost to you.

Furniture tip-overs are a leading cause of pediatric injuries in the U.S., particularly dressers, bookcases, and television stands. CPSC data shows that a child dies approximately every two weeks from a furniture or TV tip-over. Unstable high chairs, baby swings, and bouncers are also frequent recall subjects due to fall risks. ASTM International standards now require that certain furniture must meet tip-over resistance standards, and CPSC has been actively pursuing mandatory requirements for dressers and chests. If you have furniture that was not recalled but feels unstable, wall-anchoring kits are widely available at hardware stores.

In most cases, no. CPSC-coordinated recall remedies are designed to be accessible without proof of purchase. Manufacturers typically ask consumers to self-certify ownership and may ask for photos of the product or its serial number. Some manufacturers request that you mail in a portion of the product (such as a cut cord or removed component) as proof of disposal. Check the specific remedy instructions for this recall for exact requirements. If you registered your product at the time of purchase, the process is usually even simpler.

If the original manufacturer has gone out of business, the recall remedy may no longer be available through them. In this case, contact CPSC directly at 1-800-638-2772 or cpsc.gov for guidance. If the brand was acquired by another company, the acquiring company may have assumed recall obligations. In some cases where a remedy is unavailable, CPSC advises consumers to safely dispose of the product. If you were injured by the product of a defunct company, consult a product liability attorney — parent companies, distributors, and retailers may still bear liability in some circumstances.
