What was recalled
The 3-in-1 Cradle Swing has a detachable seat that can be used as a carrier. The recalled Fisher-Price 3-in-1 Cradle Swings are model numbers 79321 and 79322. The model number is on the underside of the motor housing and on the bottom of the seat. "Fisher-Price" is on the front of the motor's housing and on the bottom of the seat.

Hazard
When the 3-in-1 Cradle Swing detachable seat is used as a carrier, the locks for the handle can unexpectedly release, causing the seat to flip forward. When this happens, infants can fall to the ground and suffer serious injuries. The nylon bands that hold the surface level of the Bounce 'n Play Activity Dome can detach, allowing the surface to tilt. This can cause an infant to slide down against one end and be trapped in a position, bsing difficult to breathe, posing a suffocation hazard.
Injuries
There have been 28 reports of the 3-in-1 Cradle Swing carrier's handle unexpectedly releasing when used as a carrier, resulting in injuries to 10 infants. The injuries include a skull fracture, bumps, bruises and scrapes to the head. According to the reports, some injuries occurred to infants who were restrained in the seat. There have been 28 reports of the nylon band of the Bounce 'n Play Activity Dome detaching and causing the play and nap surface to tilt. No injuries have been reported.
