Plain-English summary

Flybar Inc. is recalling approximately 3,000 Swurfer Kiwi Baby and Toddler Swings.

The recalled swings are sold in green, blue, and pink and attach to a swing set or tree branch. They measure about 15 inches wide, 10 inches deep, and 20 inches high, and weigh about 4 pounds.
