The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers immediately to stop using IxDregan Infant Swings because the swings were marketed for infant sleep and have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees in violation of the Safe Sleep for Babies Act, posing a suffocation hazard. In addition, the swings fail to meet mandatory warning requirements under federal regulations for infant swings. These products create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants and can cause death or serious injury to infants.
Furthermore, the swings labeled with “Model: WS-HB18-4” violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries. The remote control for the swings contain a lithium coin battery, and the products do not bear the warning labels required under Reese’s Law. If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns and death.
CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Shanghai Yunmiu E-commerce Co. Ltd., of China, doing business as IxDregan. IxDregan is not recalling these infant swings or offering a remedy to consumers.
The infant swings were sold online at Amazon.com and IxDregan.com for between $110 and $140. The swings are labeled with models “WS-HB18-4” or “WS-HB18-2” and “Importer: MBQMBSS” and have a white base. The cloth around the seat is gray and may have a mixed multicolor checked pattern. The labels are located on a tag under the seat.
These products were manufactured in China.
CPSC urges consumers to stop using the infant swings immediately and dispose of them in accordance with local disposal requirements. Do not sell or give away these hazardous infant swings.
Note: Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
Parents and caregivers are reminded:
- 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 back. 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.
