WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Bellababy Infant Swings because the swings were marketed for infant sleep, and they have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees in violation of the Safe Sleep for Babies Act, posing a suffocation hazard. The swings also fail to meet mandatory requirements for restraints under federal regulations for infant swings. In addition, the swings violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries. The remote controls 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 by children, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns and death.CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Bellababy Medical Devices Inc., of China. Bellababy has not responded to CPSC’s request for a recall or offered a remedy to consumers. About 6,400 infant swings were sold online at Amazon.com from 2023 through February 2025.
