Hazard Information

The recalled baby loungers violate the mandatory safety standard for Infant Sleep Products. The sides are too low to contain an infant and the enclosed openings at the foot of the loungers are wider than allowed, posing serious risks of fall and entrapment hazards to infants. In addition, the baby loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard if used on elevated surfaces. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment and can cause death or serious injury to infants.

About This Product

Joyful Journeys baby loungers are designed for infants to provide a comfortable resting space. They are often used as portable sleeping solutions for babies during travel or at home.

Why This Is Dangerous
