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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where serious injury (broken elbow) has been reported, but no fatalities or hospitalizations are explicitly stated, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

The Little Tikes Company is offering a free seat belt for its "High Back Toddler Swing," Model 4309. These plastic chair swings were sold beginning in January 1993 and are designed for children ages 9 months to 3 years. Swings manufactured after September 1993 have seat belts pre-installed, but earlier models do not.

The recall addresses a hazard where small children may push up or stand in the swing and fall out, which could result in serious injury. The company reported twelve injuries, including facial cuts, bruises, and a broken elbow.

Consumers should not use or install a High Back Toddler Swing Model 4309 without a seat belt. To obtain a free seat belt, consumers should call Little Tikes at (800) 868-2276.
