It's important to note that safety experts are telling parents and caregivers not to use these swings under any circumstances.

They should not be used even in cases with proper supervision.

If you try to purchase the swing on Amazon, you will see a "currently unavailable" message.

Reports confirm that the five infant deaths involved children aged 1-3 months.

The USCPSC also stated that parents and caregivers should never use any products such as swings, gliders, soothers, and rockers for infant sleep.
