Century Offers Cash Reward for Recalled Infant Swings Four strangulation deaths reported

危险说明 Hazard

• The swings, which were manufactured by Century from 1991 through 1997, have shoulder harness straps that are placed over each shoulder and buckled between the infant's legs. If the straps on these swings loosen or are unbuckled, an infant can become tangled in the straps and strangle.

The recalled Lil' Napper infant swings can be identified by the following model numbers, located on the bottom of the swing's seat: 12-344, 12-345, 12-347, 12-475 or 12-476. The Century brand name is on the motor assembly at the top of the swing. Each swing has a plastic, two-position seat with a removable plastic tray. The sets are covered by either a vinyl or fabric seat pad. There are four white tubular metal legs supporting the swing.

事故与伤害 Incidents / Injuries

• These swings were recalled in 1997 following reports of three deaths and one near strangulation from entanglement in the swings' shoulder harness straps. CPSC and Century have since become aware of a fourth death to an 8-month old infant girl in Texas.

官方补救措施 Remedy

• The repair program is no longer available. Parents and caregivers should immediately stop using these infant swings and discard or destroy the product. If you have one of these swings, however, Century is still offering the $30 cash reward to compensate for having to discard or destroy the product.
