Product description
Graco is offering a free, new safety restraint to replace the old restraint systems of swings made before November 1997. These new restraints will upgrade older swings. The restraint systems on the older swings consist of a waist belt only and a hinged or removable tray, which serves as a restraint.. The safety restraint kit comes with instructions and can be installed easily. The new safety system has a buckle that assures the crotch strap is used each time the waist belt is buckled, so that infants are securely fastened into the swings.
Reason for recall
The restraint systems on the older swings consist of a waist belt only and a hinged or removable tray, which serves as a restraint. If parts are missing, the restraints are not used, or the tray pops off, infants can slip down into the seat and strangle or fall from the swing.
Remedy, what to do
Consumers should stop using the swings immediately. To receive the free safety restraint, consumers should call Graco. Consumers should have the swing in front of them when they call so that Graco can determine if the swing needs the new safety restraint.
