Urgent Safety Alert: 23,000 Baby Loungers Recalled Amid Suffocation, Fall, and Entrapment Hazards

In a critical safety announcement, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued an urgent recall for approximately 23,000 baby loungers distributed by BabyCozy Products Inc. The recall comes amidst serious concerns over suffocation, fall, and entrapment hazards that pose a potentially life-threatening risk to infants.

Parents and caregivers are immediately urged to stop using the affected baby loungers and contact BabyCozy Products Inc.

for a full refund. These products, designed to provide a cozy spot for babies, have been identified as posing an unacceptable risk when used unsupervised or in environments not intended for sleep.

The recalled loungers include specific models such as the "SnuggleNest Lounger" (UPC: 12345-67890) and the "CloudRest Sleeper" (UPC: 09876-54321).

These items were sold nationwide at major retailers like Babies 'R' Us, Target, Walmart, and online through Amazon.com and BabyCozyProducts.com, from January 2023 through August 2025. The loungers typically feature soft, cushioned sides and a flat sleeping surface, marketed for supervised lounging and playtime.

The CPSC’s investigation highlighted several severe safety deficiencies.

For the suffocation hazard, the soft, plush sides of the loungers can allow an infant's head to become trapped or roll into a position that obstructs their airway, particularly if the baby shifts during sleep or is placed on their side. This risk is amplified when used in an adult bed or on soft surfaces where the lounger itself can tilt or deform.

Furthermore, the fall hazard stems from the potential for infants to roll out of the shallow design of the loungers, especially as they gain mobility.

If the lounger is placed on an elevated surface like a changing table, couch, or countertop, a fall could result in serious head injuries or other trauma. The entrapment hazard is linked to gaps or folds in the fabric and design, where an infant's limbs or head could become wedged, leading to potential strangulation or injury.

While BabyCozy Products Inc.

has stated that they have not received any confirmed reports of injuries directly linked to these specific hazards, the recall is proactive, aiming to prevent any potential tragedies. The CPSC emphasizes that these products do not comply with federal safety standards for infant sleep products and are inherently unsafe for unsupervised sleep, even if marketed for such use.

Consumers who own these recalled baby loungers should immediately discontinue their use.

To receive a full refund, contact BabyCozy Products Inc. toll-free at 1-800-XXX-XXXX from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or visit their website at www.babycozyproducts.com/recall for more information and instructions on how to return the product. It is crucial not to resell or donate these recalled loungers.

This recall serves as a vital reminder to parents about the importance of safe sleep practices, recommending that infants always sleep alone, on their back, on a firm, flat surface free of bumpers, blankets, or soft toys.

The CPSC continues to advise against the use of inclined sleep products, pillows, and non-compliant loungers for infant sleep.
