Stop using Miracle Baby Loungers, product safety officials say

Babies could fall or suffocate in the unsafe loungers, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

WASHINGTON — Consumers should immediately stop using baby loungers sold on Amazon because they violate federal safety regulations for infant sleep products and create a potential risk for suffocation or falls, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

Miracle Baby Loungers were sold exclusively on Amazon from June to November 2022 and cost $30 to $50.

The loungers do not have a stand, which does not meet the CPSC’s safety requirements for children’s sleep products. The product also does not meet marking, labeling and instructional literature requirements, the CPSC said, and lacks required information including the manufacturing date.

The warning applies to all printed fabric versions, including Bee, Blue Star, Cat, Deer, Elephant, New Bear, New Blue Star, New Panda, New Pink Star, Pink Cross, Sea, Whale and White Cross. “Miracle Baby” is printed on a sewn-on exterior tag.

Despite a notice of violation from the CPSC earlier this year, Yichang Lanqier Garment Co. Ltd., of China, doing business as Miracle Baby, has not agreed to recall the loungers or refund customers, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said. Customers who purchased this product will receive a notice directly.

Parents should stop using the loungers immediately, and cut up the product before disposing of it.

Experts say the best place for an infant to sleep is on their back, on a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet or play yard, with only a fitted sheet.
