As parents, we trust baby product manufacturers to design safe and reliable products for our little ones. Unfortunately, some products fail to meet safety standards, putting children at risk. Recently, Fisher-Price issued a recall for its popular Snuga Swing due to safety concerns. If you or a loved one has been affected by this recall in South Carolina, you may have legal options.

Why Was the Fisher-Price Snuga Swing Recalled?

Fisher-Price announced a recall of its Snuga Swing models after reports of a defective restraint system that may fail to secure infants properly. This defect increases the risk of babies falling from the swing, potentially leading to severe injuries. The recall affects several models, including those sold nationwide and online through major retailers.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) advises parents to stop using the affected swings immediately and to follow Fisher-Price's instructions for obtaining a repair or replacement.

Potential Risks and Injuries

The primary concern with the Snuga Swing is that a faulty restraint system could cause an infant to slip out, leading to injuries such as:

• Falls from elevated positions

• Head trauma

• Broken bones

• Soft tissue injuries

If your child has suffered an injury due to the Snuga Swing, it is crucial to seek medical attention and document the incident.

Your Legal Rights as a Consumer in South Carolina

South Carolina product liability laws protect consumers from dangerous or defective products. If a manufacturer releases a product that poses an unreasonable risk of harm, they can be held liable for damages. Parents whose children have suffered injuries due to the defective Snuga Swing may have grounds to file a product liability lawsuit against Fisher-Price.

Depending on your case, you may be eligible for compensation for:

• Medical expenses

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress

• Any long-term complications resulting from the injury

What Should You Do If You Own a Recalled Snuga Swing?

If you have a Fisher-Price Snuga Swing affected by the recall, take the following steps:

1. Stop using the product immediately to prevent potential injuries.

2. Check the recall notice from Fisher-Price or the CPSC website to confirm if your model is affected.

3. Follow recall instructions for a repair, refund, or replacement.

4. Document any injuries or issues experienced while using the swing, including photos, medical records, and any communication with Fisher-Price.

5. Contact an experienced product liability attorney if your child has been injured.
