About the Recalled Sensory Swings
The recall covers Harkla Children’s Compression Sensory Swings with a blue fabric seat, a four-hole hook, and ceiling mounting hardware with an 18-to-24-inch drop length — only swings with a four-hole hook are included, identified by SKU LS-COMP-1BLU or LS-COMP-1BLU-SW printed on the side of the packaging. The swings were sold at Sensory Tool House, Hammer & Jacks, Loaded Sensory and Renew (via Faire), Amazon.com, and Harkla.co between March 2020 and December 2025 for approximately $100 to $130.
Latest Updates
The CPSC issued Fast Track Recall No. 27-060 on October 29, 2026 — issued in conjunction with a Health Canada recall covering an additional 5,534 units sold in Canada — after Harkla received 29 reports of the ceiling hook separating from the mounting plate, resulting in 14 injuries including two concussions, a broken arm, and multiple incidents of bumps and bruises [1][2]. Harkla is offering a free repair kit — including a replacement ceiling hook mounting plate, a safety strap, and updated installation instructions — to consumers who register at harkla.co/pages/ceiling-hook-recall-2026 [3].
The Fall Hazard and Why It Matters
Sensory swings are designed specifically for children with autism, sensory processing disorders, and similar conditions who use deep pressure and vestibular motion as part of therapeutic and calming routines — which means the children most likely to be using a Harkla swing are often those least equipped to brace for a sudden, unexpected fall. A ceiling hook that separates under load drops the child and the full weight of the swing from ceiling height, with no warning, onto whatever surface is below.
The two concussions documented in the CPSC incident reports represent the most serious category of injury in this recall — but a child who falls from ceiling height onto a hard floor is at risk for spinal injury, fractures beyond the arm injury already documented, and head trauma that may not produce immediate symptoms but can have lasting neurological effects.
Who Uses These Swings
Compression sensory swings are used extensively in home therapy settings, schools, and pediatric occupational therapy programs for children who benefit from deep proprioceptive input, vestibular stimulation, or calming sensory experiences. Parents and caregivers who purchased the Harkla swing based on its therapeutic purpose had a reasonable expectation that a ceiling-mounted product designed for child occupancy would be engineered to stay mounted.
With 25,541 units sold in the U.S. over five years and a 48 percent injury rate across reported incidents — 14 injuries from 29 hook separations — the structural failure rate in this recall is significant, and the potential for unreported incidents involving children who fell but were not seriously enough hurt for the incident to be reported to Harkla is substantial.
Can I File a Lawsuit?
If your child was injured in a fall caused by the ceiling hook separating on a Harkla sensory swing, you may have a product liability claim against Base Products LLC for defective design and failure to warn. Contact an attorney promptly, as state filing deadlines for children’s injury claims vary.
