Amazon Recall Update: URMYWO Baby Lounger Pulled Nationwide Over Suffocation and Fall Hazards

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced a nationwide recall of approximately 23,000 URMYWO baby loungers sold exclusively on Amazon, citing serious suffocation and fall hazards. While no injuries or deaths have been reported so far, regulators are warning that these loungers could create an unsafe environment for infants, potentially leading to tragic outcomes if they remain in use.

What the Recall Covers

The affected product is the URMYWO baby lounger in the “grey feather” style, sold on Amazon between January 2024 and April 2025 for $30 to $50. Model number UMCZC01AE identifies the recalled item. According to the CPSC:

• The loungers’ sides are shorter than the federally mandated minimum height.

• The sleeping pad is thicker than permitted, increasing suffocation risks.

• An enclosed opening at the foot could trap infants.

• Portability created a fall hazard since no secure stand was provided.

The CPSC noted that the loungers fail to meet federal safety standards for infant sleep products, which require a maximum incline of 10 degrees and compliance with bassinet/cradle stability rules. Manufacturers are also required to provide clear labeling and certification that their products meet safety requirements.

Why This Matters for Families

Even without reported injuries, the CPSC’s action underscores the dangers of unsafe baby loungers—a category of product repeatedly linked to infant deaths and recalls. Noncompliant infant sleep products can create a suffocation risk when babies roll into unsafe positions or become trapped by design flaws.

Parents often turn to loungers as an affordable, portable sleep option, but the CPSC has made clear that unless a product meets strict crib, bassinet, or play yard standards, it should not be marketed for infant sleep. This recall is another reminder that products purchased on major platforms like Amazon may not always meet U.S. safety standards—even when they are sold in large quantities nationwide.

Amazon’s Role in Dangerous Product Recalls

Amazon has increasingly come under scrutiny for its role in selling defective or unsafe products, particularly those aimed at babies and children. The platform allows thousands of third-party sellers to market goods directly to consumers, sometimes with limited oversight of whether those products comply with federal safety laws.

In recent years, KBD Attorneys has closely followed recalls of Amazon-exclusive products—including magnetic toys, heated gloves, bassinets, and other baby products that have posed serious injury risks. While Amazon has pledged to work with regulators, the reality is that unsafe products continue to reach families through its marketplace.

Amazon’s size and influence mean that when a dangerous product is sold on its platform, it can quickly spread into tens of thousands of homes. In many of the cases KBD has written about, recalls affected products sold on Amazon, making the company a central figure in America’s product safety landscape.

Baby Loungers: A Repeated Safety Issue

Baby loungers in particular have been a recurring source of recalls and warnings. Despite their popularity, loungers often fail to meet the strict standards designed to prevent suffocation. Several models have already been pulled from the market in recent years, and the CPSC continues to emphasize that loungers should never be used as an alternative to a crib or bassinet.

KBD Attorneys has highlighted the dangers of baby loungers in multiple past blogs, emphasizing both the regulatory landscape and the real-life consequences when infants are placed in unsafe sleep environments. Parents deserve products that are not only convenient but also compliant with safety standards designed to protect babies’ lives.

Baby Products in General: A Broader Safety Problem

The URMYWO lounger recall is just one example of a broader problem: baby products frequently end up at the center of safety warnings and recalls. From high chairs to strollers to cribs, design flaws and manufacturing shortcuts can lead to devastating consequences for families.

KBD has written extensively about recalls involving baby products—from the Bugaboo high chair recall earlier this year, to Amazon’s magnetic ball hazards, to bassinets with suffocation risks. In every instance, the lesson is the same: when companies cut corners or fail to comply with safety standards, it’s children and families who suffer.
