Plain-English summary

Graco Children's Products is voluntarily recalling the cradle portion of Converta-Cradle R brand cradle swings in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall is based on reports of four incidents of partial or total suffocation of infants while in the cradle when it was used suspended from the swing. A total of 169,000 units were sold after January 1990.

Only swings with straight legs and which swing the infant from head to foot are involved. The Converta-Cradle R includes a swing stand and motor, an infant seat/carrier, and a cradle; only the cradle portion is being recalled. No other Graco Swing Products are involved in this corrective action.

Consumers who own Converta-Cradle R swings with straight legs should stop using the cradle portion of the swing immediately. They should call Graco at 1-800-345-4109 for information about replacement of the cradle. The company offers, in exchange for proof of the destruction of the cradle, a choice of one of several Graco products or a refund of $25.00 for the value of the cradle portion of the swing.
