Graco Baby Swing Defect Class Action

A class action lawsuit was filed by Stephanie Haney against Graco Children’s Products Inc. The core allegation is that the Graco Slim Spaces Compact Baby Swing contains a defect that causes it to accelerate to dangerous speeds. The plaintiff asserts that this defect allows the swing to reach high speeds without any user input, even when the lowest setting is selected, rendering the speed controls ineffective and posing a direct and serious risk of physical harm or death to infants.

Haney claims that Graco has been aware of this defect for several years, citing consumer complaints, filings with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, and media coverage, yet the company allegedly failed to issue a recall, correct its product listing, or warn consumers. The lawsuit further alleges that Graco engaged in unjust enrichment, breach of contract, breach of express and implied warranties, and various forms of misrepresentation under California law.

The plaintiff is seeking a jury trial and requests both compensatory and punitive damages for herself and all class members. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Affected consumers are encouraged to note the details of the filing, but the content does not provide a specific claims deadline or participation mechanism other than noting the lawsuit's existence.
