CPSC and Little Tikes Announce Cozy Highback Swing Recall
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), The Little Tikes Company
of Hudson, Ohio, is voluntarily recalling approximately
245,000 Cozy Highback Swings, model no. 4637. The swing may
tip forward and possibly flip over while a child is swinging
in it.
Little Tikes has received 55 reports of the swing
tipping forward. No serious injuries have been reported.
The Cozy Highback Swing is a bright blue plastic swing

stationary front cross bar. It does not have an
adjustable T-bar closure. The swing hangs by four yellow,
weather-resistant ropes.
Toy stores, department stores, and discount stores sold
the swing nationwide from January 1996 through April 1996
for about $15 to $18.
Consumers should stop using the swing and call Little
Tikes at (800) 321-0183 to exchange it for a different model
swing, or comparable Little Tikes product. Consumers may
