CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using Queerick Infant Swings Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Suffocation; Multiple Federal Safety Violations

WASHINGTON, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Queerick Infant Swings because they pose a suffocation hazard. The swings were marketed for infant sleep and have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees in violation of the Safe Sleep for Babies Act  and the federal Infant Sleep Products Rule. In addition, the swings fail to meet mandatory warning requirements for infant swings. These infant swings create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants and can cause death or serious injury to infants.

The swings also violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries. The remote control for the swings contains a lithium coin battery, and the products do not have the warning labels required under Reese's Law. If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, they can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns and death.

CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Foshanshipengjianfeiyukejiyouxiangongsi, of China, doing business as Power Transform. Power Transform has not agreed to recall these infant swings or offer a remedy to consumers.

The infant swings were sold online on Amazon.com from October 2023 through November 2024 for between $100 to $220 as model "WS-HB18." The infant swings are labeled as model "Baby swing Black grey" and come in black with hanging cloud and pink whale toys. The cloth seat of the infant swing has printed lions on it. The products may have also been sold on other platforms or by other third-party sellers.

These products were manufactured in China.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the infants swings immediately and dispose of them.Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. The battery in the remotes should be disposed of or recycled following local hazardous waste procedures. Do not sell or give away these hazardous infant swings.

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. Infants who fall asleep in an inclined or upright position should be moved to a safe sleep environment with a firm, flat surface such as a crib, bassinet or play yard.
