WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Bubble Monkey baby loungers. The loungers violate the mandatory standard for Infant Sleep Products. The enclosed openings at the foot of the loungers are wider than allowed, posing a fall hazard and an entrapment hazard to infants.

These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants and can cause death or serious injury to infants.CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Eclipse Market LLC, doing business as Bubble Monkey, of China. Bubble Monkey is unable to offer refunds to consumers because it is out of business. About 3,600 baby loungers were sold online on Amazon from December 2023 through July 2025 for between $32 and $60 The loungers may have also been sold in multiple styles and printed fabric options by various third-party sellers and on other websites. The loungers include a foam sleeping pad and padded bumpers with a cloth cover. The loungers are brown and white with an animal print and have a matching pillow. “Bubble monkey” is printed on a label stitched on the outside of the baby lounger’s cover.These products were manufactured in China.CPSC urges consumers to immediately stop using the baby loungers, remove the foam padding, and cut the cover in half, and dispose of the cover and padding.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.
