When the 3-in-1 Cradle Swing detachable seat is used as a carrier, the locks for the handle can unexpectedly release, causing the seat to flip forward. When this happens, infants can fall to the ground and suffer serious injuries. The nylon bands that hold the surface level of the Bounce 'n Play Activity Dome can detach, allowing the surface to tilt. This can cause an infant to slide down against one end and be trapped in a position, bsing difficult to breathe, posing a suffocation hazard.

Consumers should stop using the swing's seat as a carrier immediately. Fisher-Price will provide a free repair kit that will lock the carrier's handle in place. The repair can be done quickly and easily in the home. Consumers can continue to use the seat as intended as a cradle swing. Consumers should stop using the Bounce 'n Play Activity Dome immediately. Fisher-Price has discontinued distribution of the repair kit for this product. Consumers should discontinue use of the item immediately.
