Plain-English summary

Little Tikes is recalling approximately 250,000 Home "2-in-1 Snug 'n Secure" swings. The recall involves swings with blue or white buckles, a blue seat with a red T-shaped restraint front, and model number 4117-00 molded underneath the seat. These swings were sold for children ages 9 months through 4 years old.

The swings were sold at juvenile product and toy stores nationwide from December 2000 through September 2001 for about $20. Consumers should stop using the swings immediately and contact Little Tikes at www.littletikes.com or call (800) 321-0183 to receive a repair kit.
