Joyful Journeys baby loungers, sold online at Amazon.com and Walmart.com, have been recalled because they violate the mandatory safety standard for infant sleep products. The sides are too low, the openings at the foot are too wide, and there is no stand, posing fall and entrapment hazards that can cause death or serious injury to infants.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled baby loungers and contact Joyful Journeys for a full refund. Consumers should remove the foam and pads from the baby lounger's cover and cut the cover, foam, and pad in half.

Hazard

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.
