The Swing Wing is a toy, similar to the Hula Hoop, worn on the head and twirled by moving the neck and/or body in a back and forth motion. It was developed by Transogram Games and introduced in 1965.
The toy has received recent notoriety appearing on Fox News Channel's late night show Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld on May 22, 2008 (May 21 for PDT)[citation needed], G4's ABC (TV channel) Attack of the Show and The Ellen Show[1] as well as The Gruen Transfer.[2] It has been speculated that the toy was recalled due to injury suffered in the necks of children caused by the continual jerking motions required to use the toy[citation needed].
