FIRST GENERATION SWURFER KIWI BABY & TODDLER SWING RECALL AND  STEPS TO FIX

SWURFER KIWI BABY AND TODDLER SWING RECALL DUE TO ROPE FAILURE

NAME OF PRODUCT

Swurfer Kiwi Baby and Toddler Swing - Version 1, manufactured fall 2019

Recalled 5/14/2020

 

HAZARD

Each of the four ropes on the Kiwi swing uses a plastic molded shrink wrap to secure the rope to the Kiwi. A few customers have complained that the shrink wrap loosened up or even fell off completely, allowing the rope to detach from the Kiwi. We immediately removed this version of the swing from the market by early 2020 and have worked diligently to improve the design which is no longer an issue.

 

INCIDENTS/INJURIES

Thus far there have been no injuries reported. Although this issue has only occurred in a very small number of cases, we have voluntarily elected to conduct this recall in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in order to ensure that we are taking the appropriate steps to prevent any injuries while using the Kiwi. This version of the swing has not been on the market since the beginning of 2020.

 

SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM

If you have this version that was manufactured before DATE please stop using your Kiwi immediately and perform the fix below, which can be completed in a few minutes. Once the following adjustments are made to ensure that the ropes are securely in place, you will not have any issues going forward.

To ensure your Kiwi is completely safe to use, please follow the steps below.
