Baby Trend is recalling about 15,000 infant swings sold at Toys R Us because a support arm screw can loosen, causing the seat to drop and posing a fall hazard.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Baby Trend Inc. is recalling approximately 15,000 "Trend Swing" stationary infant swings, model numbers 8711 and 8722. The swings were sold in khaki/gingham and navy/white plaid patterns and feature a toy bar, song player, and timer. The "Baby Trend" brand name is printed on the front of the seat's tray and on the label on the bottom of the seat, which also indicates "Made in China."

The recall is due to a defect where a screw on the swing's support arm can loosen or detach. This failure can cause the seat to separate and drop to one side, presenting a fall hazard to infants. Baby Trend has received 10 reports of the screws loosening, but no injuries have been reported.

The affected swings were sold nationwide at Toys R Us stores from November 2001 through September 2002 for between $60 and $90. Consumers should stop using these recalled swings immediately and contact Baby Trend to receive a free repair kit. For more information, consumers can contact Baby Trend toll-free at (800) 328-7363 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit www.babytrend.com.
