3. Hazard Information
According to the recall notice, the recalled baby loungers violate the mandatory safety standard for Infant Sleep Products. The sides of the loungers are too low to contain an infant, and the enclosed openings at the foot of the loungers are wider than allowed. These conditions pose risks of fall and entrapment hazards to infants. Additionally, the baby loungers do not have a stand, which poses a fall hazard if used on elevated surfaces. The recall notice states that these violations create an unsafe sleeping environment and can cause death or serious injury to infants. No injuries have been reported as of the recall date.

4. Consumer Action Required
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled baby loungers. The recall instructions require consumers to remove the foam and pads from the baby lounger’s cover.
