(Washington-AP) -- About 140-thousand infant swings are being recalled because of defects that can injure children.
The Graco Travel Lite portable swings have a carrying handle that can fall or be pushed down, hitting the child on the head.

Graco has had reports of nearly 30 injuries blamed on the falling handle.
The company has also received 100 reports of children being hurt after the swing's restraints failed to keep them from falling and striking their heads on the floor, or on the swing's frame.
The swings were made by Graco from May to December of last year.
Graco is asking parents to stop using the swing immediately and contact the company for free repair kits.
They can call toll-free at 800-345-4109
