Plain-English summary

Little Tikes is recalling about 540,000 2-in-1 Snug 'n Secure Pink toddler swings. The recalled swings feature a pink T-shaped restraint with a Little Tikes logo and are suspended by four yellow ropes. The model number 615573 is molded on the back of the swing seat. The recall includes swings with a manufacturing date code stamp where the molded inner arrow points to "10", "11", "12", or "13". Additionally, swings with a date code stamp of "9" on the inner arrow combined with "43" or a higher number on the outer stamp are included. No other date codes or colored swings are affected.

The swings were sold at Walmart, Toys "R" Us, and other stores nationwide, as well as online at www.littletikes.com and other websites, from November 2009 through May 2014 for about $25.
