Harkla’s Sensory Swing Recall Comes Down to the Ceiling Hook
Check the mounting hardware, stop using affected swings, and request the free recall remedy through Harkla’s official page.
If your Harkla blue compression sensory swing uses the recalled four-hole ceiling hook, stop using it until the recall repair is completed. The Consumer Product Safety Commission’s October 29, 2026 notice says the hook can separate from its mounting plate, creating a fall hazard. The announced remedy is a free repair kit, including shipping.
This is a hardware-identification job, not an invitation to give the swing a reassuring tug. A familiar product can be part of a daily routine and still need an immediate pause. The useful question is which mounting hardware you have.
Match the hardware, not just the blue fabric
The CPSC notice identifies a blue fabric compression swing with a four-hole ceiling hook. Packaging may carry SKU LS-COMP-1BLU or LS-COMP-1BLU-SW. It lists sales from March 2020 through December 2025, including Amazon and Harkla’s website. About 25,541 US units are covered.
Use the manufacturer’s recall photographs and explanation to compare the mounting plate. Harkla says the two-hole, single-cast ceiling hook is not included in this recall. It also says it is recalling all four-hole versions because reinforced and earlier versions can look very similar. Do not try to settle that distinction by inspecting a weld and deciding that yours looks convincing.
The incident reports are a reason to act
The CPSC reports that Harkla received 29 reports of hook separation, including 14 injuries. Those reported injuries included two concussions and a broken arm. The notice describes reports received by the company; it does not establish the risk for every individual installation. It gives owners a concrete reason to follow the stop-use instruction rather than waiting for a visible problem.
Move the recall information to wherever decisions about the swing happen. If another caregiver, teacher, or family member uses it, send them the official notice and make clear that the product is out of use while the remedy is pending. A completed form in one person’s inbox is easy for everyone else to miss.
Request the kit through the official recall page
Harkla’s recall registration page provides the hardware-kit request form and asks owners with multiple affected swings to submit a request for each kit. The company describes updated mounting hardware and installation instructions. Its page also provides contact details for owners who cannot confidently identify the hook.
Keep a record of the request and any follow-up. Photograph the relevant hardware if it is safely accessible, retain the model information you can find, and use the official recall page for the required submission details. This is a free recall remedy; the article does not recommend buying an unrelated replacement hook as a workaround.
If installation is a problem, ask before booking help
Harkla says owners uncomfortable completing the replacement can contact the company for assistance finding a qualified professional and arranging reasonable, approved recall-installation costs. It asks owners to contact it before scheduling that work. That is worth checking before paying someone and assuming reimbursement will follow.
The company’s page gives an approximate processing expectation, but that is not a delivery guarantee for your household. Keep the swing out of use until the replacement is properly installed according to the recall instructions. If an expected kit has not arrived, follow up through the company’s published recall contacts rather than treating the delay as permission to resume use.
