Chainkeen|Over 4,000 baby loungers sold on Amazon recalled over suffocation, entrapment concerns

The ChainkeenConsumer Product Safety Commission has recalled baby loungers exclusively sold on Amazon because they pose a suffocation risk to children, the agency announced Thursday.

More than 4,000 Yoocaa baby loungers were recalled because they failed to meet safety requirements and, in addition to the suffocation risk, pose an entrapment hazard by creating an unsafe sleeping environment, according to the CPSC.  

The baby product was sold from January 2021 through May 2023, retailing between $30 and $55 on Amazon. However, no incidents or injuries have been reported to the CPSC as of late.

The 4,140 Yoocaa “baby nests" or "baby loungers” recalled were sold in a variety of different prints and colors, including animal, blue star, cloud, feather, flower, forest, leaf, pink star, polar bear and zoo.
