The Rainforest open Top Take-Along Swing measures about 23" high and has two carry handles on the left & right sides, has a palm tree mobile with two hanging plush toys.

This product can pose an entrapment hazard to occupants of the swing.

If you own one of these swings or are thinking of buying one for your infant, please read this guide so that you will be informed of the hazard and which model number of these swings that it pertains to.The Rainforest Open Top Take-Along Swings have a model number that contains a letter and 4 numbers which is stamped into the plastic. The model that is recalled contains the letter K. If it does not have the letter K within the model number, then the recall does not pertain to that swing.

For more information or to confirm your model number you may call Fisher-Price at 1- 888-303-5638 Mon.-Fri. between the hours of 9a.m. and 7p.m. Eastern Time, or Sat between the hours of 11a.m.-5p.m. Eastern Time. Or go to the Fisher-Price web site and click on recalls and you will find all of the information there. If you own one of these swings, Fisher-Price provides information and help at their web site for returning a swing - they will send you a shipping label for returns and not to worry, you won't need a large box..

I know of this swing firsthand and watched an infant at the age of 5 1/2 months and 15 lbs. grab the outer bar to pull himself up and to the side, forcing the swing seat itself go back, tilting so as he would have fallen out of the swing, face first to the floor ( even though he was strapped in, due to the fact there are no shoulder straps) Luckily we were right there beside the infant so he was not injured, but can you imagine what could have happened?

Please pass this information along to spread the word about not only this recall, but all others you may be aware of, and help to keep infants and children safe from harm. If this guide has helped you, let it be known, and possibly we can spread the word a little faster to others with infants.

Thank you for taking the time to read this guide, and don't forget to pass on the information!
