Oct 10 (Reuters) - Mattel ( MAT ) is recalling all

models of its Fisher-Price Snuga infant swings after five deaths

were reported from suffocation hazards between 2012 and 2022,

the U.S. consumer protection authority and the toymaker said on

Thursday.

The Snuga Swing, targeted at infants of up to nine months of

age, has both front-to-back and side-to-side motions and comes

in 21 different models.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said the swing

should never be used for sleep and bedding materials such as

blankets should not be added to it as they could increase the

risk of suffocation.

"Consumers should immediately remove both the headrest, by

cutting the tether, and the body support insert from the seat

pad before continuing to use the swing," the CPSC warned.

Fisher-Price would provide a partial refund of $25 to

consumers who do so, the statement said.

"The recall was to repair, not a full product recall,"

Mattel ( MAT ) said.

The five reported deaths were in the age group of one to

three months, when the product was used for sleep and bedding

materials were added.

The swings were sold for about $160 at stores such as Toys R

Us, Walmart's ( WMT ) Sam's Club and Target ( TGT ) as well as

Amazon ( AMZN ).

About 2.1 million swings were sold in the United States,

about 99,000 swings were sold in Canada and about 500 swings

were sold in Mexico since 2010, according to the statement.

The products are being jointly recalled by the U.S. CPSC,

Health Canada and Mexico's Consumer Protection Federal Agency.
