Fall Hazard Prompts Recall of Harkla Children’s Compression Sensory Swings 2026

A ceiling hook that can pull free from its mounting plate is putting children at risk of a fall, and Harkla Children’s Compression Sensory Swings are now being recalled in Canada and the United States. If one of these swings hangs in your home, classroom or therapy space, stop using it today.

Health Canada announced the joint recall on October 29, 2026, together with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC) and the company, Base Products LLC, doing business as Harkla. The recall is listed under identification number RA-82868.

• Product: Harkla Children’s Compression Sensory Swings with a blue fabric seat
• Units sold: 5,534 in Canada and 25,541 in the United States
• Sold: March 2020 to April 2025
• Hazard: Ceiling hook can separate from the mounting plate
• Remedy: Repair kit from Harkla

The Reason Behind the Recall

According to Health Canada, the swing’s ceiling hook can separate from its mounting plate. When that happens, the swing can drop suddenly, and a child using it could be injured in a fall.

The reports so far are significant. As of October 23, 2026, Harkla had received 4 reports of the hook separating from the mounting plate in Canada, including 1 report of injury. In the United States, the company had received 29 reports of the hook separating and 17 reports of injuries.

Products Affected by This Recall

The recall covers Harkla Children’s Compression Sensory Swings that have a blue fabric seat and come with a four-hole ceiling hook mounting plate for suspension. The swings have a drop length of 18 to 24 inches.

Two SKUs are included. The SKU number is printed on the side of the product packaging, so check the box if you still have it.

• Blue Compression Sensory Swing: SKU LS-COMP-1BLU
• Blue Compression Sensory Swing with Swivel: SKU LS-COMP-1BLU-SW

The swings were manufactured in China. Harkla, based in Boise, Idaho, is listed as the importer.

Who Should Be Concerned

Anyone who bought one of these swings between March 2020 and April 2025 should check the product now. Sensory swings are often used at home by families, and the recall notice applies to every affected swing regardless of how it is used.

The company reported that 5,534 units were sold in Canada and 25,541 in the United States. Because the swings were on the market for more than five years, some may have been passed along, stored away or reinstalled in a new room. If you own one, or you know someone who does, check the SKU and the mounting plate.

The Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits recalled products from being redistributed, sold or even given away in Canada. That means affected swings should not be resold or handed down.

What Consumers Need to Do Now

Health Canada’s advice is direct: immediately stop using the recalled swing and contact Harkla to obtain a repair kit. Follow these steps:

• Take the swing down or make sure no child can use it.
• Check the SKU on the packaging to confirm your swing is affected.
• Go to harkla.co/pages/ceiling-hook-recall-2026 to register for the repair kit.
• Wait for the kit, which includes a replacement ceiling hook mounting plate, a safety strap and updated swing installation instructions.
• Dispose of the old hooks according to municipal waste guidelines.

Do not put the swing back into use until you have installed the repair kit and followed the updated installation instructions.

Regulatory Response

Health Canada is publishing the recall as a consumer product recall in the household items category. The agency reminds consumers to report any health or safety incident involving this product, or any other consumer product or cosmetic, using the Consumer Product Incident Report Form on its website.

The US CPSC is announcing the same action for American consumers. The recall is also posted on the OECD Global Portal on Product Recalls website, which lists other international consumer product recalls.

Parents and caregivers who use sensory equipment for children should take a moment to check any ceiling-mounted items in the home. If your swing is on the list, the fix is a repair kit from the company, but the swing should stay out of use until the kit is installed.
