SAN ANTONIO – Fisher-Price has recalled 63,000 infant motion seats because they may catch on fire, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced.
The recall involves Fisher-Price Soothing Motion Seats with model numbers CMR35, CMR36, CMR37, DYH22 and Smart Connect Soothing Motions Seats with model number CMR39. You can find the model number on the underside of the motor housing.
According to the CPSC, the seats bounce, sway and vibrate and play songs and nature sounds.
The problem is that the motor housing can overheat, which can cause a fire.
Fisher-Price has received 36 reports of overheating, including one report of a fire contained within the motor housing. No injuries have been reported.
The seats were sold at Buy Buy Baby, Target, Toys R Us, Walmart and other stores nationwide and on Amazon.com and other websites for $160.
The seats were sold from November 2015 through October 2017.
