Joyful Journeys Recalls Baby Loungers Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Entrapment and Fall Hazards; Violates Mandatory Standard for Infant Sleep Products
Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
Hazard
The recalled baby loungers violate the mandatory safety standard for Infant Sleep Products. The sides are too low to contain an infant and the enclosed openings at the foot of the loungers are wider than allowed, posing serious risks of fall and entrapment hazards to infants. In addition, the baby loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard if used on elevated surfaces. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment and can cause death or serious injury to infants.
What parents need to know
Joyful Journeys is recalling its baby loungers. These products are designed as a foam sleeping pad with padded bumpers and a cloth cover, often zipping up into a bag with a strap. They were sold in various styles, including green avocado, blue dinosaur, and pink zoo animals.
The reason for this recall is that the baby loungers do not meet the mandatory safety standard for infant sleep products. The sides are not high enough to keep an infant safely contained, and there are openings that are too wide, creating risks of entrapment and falls. Additionally, the loungers lack a stand, which increases the danger of falls if placed on elevated surfaces. These issues can lead to serious injury or death for infants.
If you own one of these baby loungers, please stop using it immediately. You should remove the foam and pads from the cover and cut both the cover and the foam/pad in half. Please refer to the official recall notice for detailed instructions on how to receive a full refund.
