CPSC Warns Consumers To Stop Using Certain Recalled Baby Swings, Loungers

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has warned consumers to stop using certain recalled baby swings and loungers after several infant deaths were linked to the products.

Mamibaby and Cosy Nation Baby Loungers have been recalled due to the risk of suffocation, falling, and entrapment. The CPSC website states, “The recalled baby loungers violate the federal safety regulations for Infant Sleep Products because the sides are too low to contain the infant; the sleeping pad is too thick, posing a suffocation hazard; an infant could fall out of an enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger or become entrapped; and the loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard if used on elevated surfaces. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants.”

The website states baby loungers made of a cloth cover with a foam sleeping pad and padded bumper were recalled. The items were advertised as “baby loungers” and “co-sleepers.” They were sold in different printed fabrics and colors, including “Animal, Baby Crown, Classics Dinosaur, Crocodile, Deer, Dinosaur2, Elephant, Elk, Feather, Flower, Forest, Giraffe, Green Leaf, Gray-set, Gray Arrow, Leaves, Lion, Love, Sheep Monkey, Star, Triangle and White Leaf.”

The CPSC adds that the words “sleeping set” are printed on a tag sewn within the interior of the baby loungers’ covers. “Mamibaby” or “Cosy Nation” is printed on a brand tag sewn on the exterior of most of the baby loungers’ covers, although some of the recalled baby loungers did not include either tag.

The Code of Federal Regulations for infant products states that certain criteria must be met for a product to be marketed safely for children. The purpose of the regulations is to “address infant sleep products not already covered by traditional sleep product standards and to reduce deaths associated with known infant sleep hazards, including, but not limited to, a seat back or sleep surface angle that is greater than 10 degrees from the horizontal.”

The recalled products were sold online at Amazon.com from June 2023 through June 2024 for between $40 and $50. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled loungers and contact MEIXIA Shop for information on how to dispose of the product to obtain a full refund. MEIXIA Shop and Amazon are contacting all known purchasers directly. Consumers may also contact MEIXIA Shop by email at recallemail@163.com.

CBS News reports that the CPSC issued another warning against DNYSYSJ and OUKANING cradle swings because they pose suffocation and fall hazards for infants. The agency urges parents and other caregivers not to use the products.

The DNYSYSJ cradle swings were sold online at Amazon.com from October 2021 through May 2024 for between $95 and $130, the news station reports. The OUKANING cradle swings were sold online at Amazon.com from October 2021 through February 2023 for between $80 and $145.

The CSPC website is aware of five infant deaths linked to the products.
