Safety Alert: Recall of Miracle Baby Loungers Amid Suffocation and Fall Risks
In a significant development concerning infant safety, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a warning against the use of Miracle Baby Loungers, a popular infant sleep product. This recall, announced on November 22, stems from the risks of suffocation and falls associated with the product, marking a clear violation of federal safety regulations. The Miracle Baby Loungers, manufactured by Yichang Lanqier Garment Co. Ltd. of China, have been found to be non-compliant with the CPSC’s Infant Sleep Products regulation. This regulation mandates specific safety standards for infant sleep products, including the requirement for a stand to protect infants from falling asleep in the lounger, as well as clear markings, labels, and instructions, including the manufacturing date, which the Miracle Baby Loungers lack.
Despite the Notice of Violation issued by the CPSC, the manufacturer has opted not to recall the items or offer replacements. Instead, customers are being directly notified about the safety concerns. The loungers, sold on Amazon from June 2022 until November 2022, ranged in price from $30 to $50 and were available in various fabrics, including New Bear, New Pink Star, Pink Cross, Deer, Elephant, Bee, Cat, among others. The CPSC’s regulation specifically targets products manufactured on or after June 23, 2022, but due to the absence of manufacturing dates on the Miracle Baby Loungers, a warning has been issued for all models of this product.
The CPSC has advised consumers to immediately stop using these loungers for their infants’ safety. For proper disposal, the CPSC recommends cutting up the lounger cover, sleeping pad, and side bumpers before discarding them. Additionally, the CPSC has reiterated essential guidelines for safe infant sleep, emphasizing the importance of a flat, solid sleeping surface, the use of fitted sheets without pillows, blankets, or crib bumpers, and always placing infants on their backs to sleep.
For those affected by the recall of the Miracle Baby Loungers, legal action may be a viable option. Victims seeking damages can file a product liability lawsuit, a complex process that requires establishing a direct link between the product’s use and the injury sustained. Navigating a product liability lawsuit involves several stages, including the filing of a legal complaint, the discovery phase, and potentially a court trial.
An attorney’s expertise is crucial throughout this process. A skilled lawyer can effectively gather evidence, articulate legal arguments, and represent the victim’s interests, ensuring that all procedural requirements are met. In such lawsuits, victims can seek compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from the product’s use.
