Product Safety Warning Details

Description:

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Bellababy Infant Swings because the swings were marketed for infant sleep, and they have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees in violation of the Safe Sleep for Babies Act,posing a suffocation hazard. The swings also fail to meet mandatory requirements for restraints under federal regulations for infant swings.

In addition, the swings violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries. The remote controls for the swings contain a lithium coin battery and the products do not bear the warning labels required under Reese's Law. If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed by children, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns and death.

CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Bellababy Medical Devices Inc., of China. Bellababy has not responded to CPSC's request for a recall or offered a remedy to consumers.

About 6,400 infant swings were sold online at Amazon.com from 2023 through February 2025. The swings are gray with a white base and white embroidered "Bellababy" on the restraints. The swings are labeled "Baby Swing" and "Model Number: WS-HB182." The label is located on the bottom of the seat of the swing.

These products were manufactured in China.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the infant swings immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous infant swings.

Note: Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.

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.

Related Recalls

The swings pose a suffocation risk because they were marketed for infant sleep, and they have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees in violation of the Safe Sleep for Babies Act. In addition, the swings fail to meet mandatory warning requirements under the swing standard and are missing the required warnings and instructions for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries under Reese's Law.

The recalled high chair activity centers violate the federal regulations for high chairs and stationary activity centers. The high chair activity centers pose a deadly entrapment hazard because the leg openings in the seat of the stationary activity center are too wide and a child can become entrapped in it, which is a violation of the federal regulation for stationary activity centers. In addition, the tray can disengage and a child can fall, which is a violation of the federal regulation for high chairs, posing a serious injury hazard.

The recalled magnetic Multifunctional Puzzle Crab Toy set violates the mandatory federal regulation for magnet toys, posing an ingestion hazard. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.

The detachable tissue box toy can come apart, exposing the small support brackets, posing a choking hazard to young children.

The recalled bath seats violate the federal safety regulation for infant bath seats because the bath seat is unstable and can tip over while in use, and the leg openings are too wide, allowing a baby to slip out of the seat, posing a risk of serious injury or death to babies from drowning.

The yolk of the toy egg can crack and create small parts, posing a choking hazard to young children.
