Stop using Miracle Baby Loungers sold on Amazon: Warning issued due to suffocation, fall risk
View Date:2024-12-23 19:25:03
Parents and caretakers who purchased certain baby products on Amazon have been warned to stop using them immediately, according to a notice by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Miracle Baby Loungers sold on Amazon were recently evaluated by CPSC and found to be unsafe and in violation of federal regulations. The design of the loungers paired with improper labeling poses suffocation and fall risks to infants sleeping in them.
The CPSC, which sets the standards for infant sleep products, is therefore advising all consumers who have purchased these products to dispose of them immediately. While the organization is still working on sending direct notice to impacted customers and seeking a remedy from the seller, it appears the risky products are no longer on the brand's Amazon shop.
However, those who already purchased certain items should check the brand and get rid of the products immediately. Read on for more information on what to look for.

Risks of suffocation, fall hazards
The CPSC has said the loungers fail to meet federal safety regulations and specifically violate CPSC’s Infant Sleep Products standards.
The loungers do not have a stand built in as part of their design, creating an unsafe sleeping environment for infants. The design creates an increased risk of suffocation or falls and also lacks proper labeling, said CPSC.
The lounger and its packaging also do not include the required markings and information, such as the date the product was manufactured and proper instructions for safe use.
The loungers are sold only on Amazon by Chinese seller Yichang Lanqier Garment Co. Ltd., which operates on the site under the moniker Miracle Baby. CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, but the company refused to formally recall the products or offer solutions to customers. Instead, people who purchased the unsafe products will receive a notice from CPSC in the mail.

Stop using these Miracle Baby Loungers: How to get rid of the products
CPSC said the baby loungers in question were sold on Amazon between June and November 2022 for $30 to $50.
They have "Miracle Baby" printed on a tag attached to the outside and come in fabric print options New Bear, Bee, Blue Star, Cat, Deer, Elephant, New Blue Star, New Panda, New Pink Star, Pink Cross, Sea, Whale and White Cross.
It is advised that any customer who owns this product stop using and destroy it immediately. CPSC suggested disposing of the faulty loungers by unzipping the cover and cutting up the fabric, along with the accompanying sleeping pad and side bumpers, before disposing of the pieces in a proper trash receptacle.
If you have already witnessed injury or an unsafe situation caused by the product, the organization asks that you report it at www.SaferProducts.gov.
Advice for safe sleep
CPSC likewise issued a brief reminder of some sleep-safe practices for infants, including:
- The best place for an infant to sleep is on a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet or play yard.
- Use a fitted sheet only and never add blankets, pillows, padded crib bumpers, or other items to an infant’s sleeping environment.
- Infants should always be placed to sleep on their backs. Infants who fall asleep in an inclined or upright position should be moved to a safe sleep environment with a firm, flat surface such as a crib, bassinet or play yard.
