Vevor Baby Swing Recall: Suffocation Hazard, Infant Safety & Legal Rights

When a baby product is recalled because it violates mandatory safety standards and poses a suffocation risk, parents and families need to pay close attention. On November 6, 2025 the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of Vevor Baby Swings manufactured by Sanven Technology. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
At Ketterer, Browne & Davani Attorneys we are committed to protecting families when child-safety products fail—and this recall is a timely example of why vigilance matters.

What’s going on?

• The recall covers about 1,020 units of the Vevor Baby Swings (models BB501K, BB702A, BB005K) sold between January 2025 and August 2025 at online retailers (Vevor.com, Amazon) for between $65-$80. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

• The hazard: The swings were marketed for infant sleep and have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees, thereby violating the mandatory standard for infant sleep products and the ban on inclined sleepers under the Safe Sleep for Babies Act. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

• The risk: Because the incline is too steep, an infant’s face may become pressed against the swing surface or positioning could allow suffocation to occur. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

• The remedy: Consumers should stop using the swing immediately, contact Sanven Technology for a full refund, and dispose of the swing according to local laws (including the company’s instructions to cut the cover in half and send a photo). U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

• No injuries have been reported so far in connection with this defect. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

Why this matters for parents & caregivers

1. Infant sleep safety is non‐negotiable.
Sleep‐related products carry heightened risk because infants may be unable to reposition themselves, may be vulnerable to suffocation when items are inclined or unstable, and because regulatory standards exist precisely to address these risk factors. The recall shows how failing to meet those standards can lead to serious hazards.

2. The manufacturer violated mandatory standards.
This is not merely a voluntary recall for a minor defect—it’s a recall based on violation of mandatory federal regulations tied to infant sleep products. That means legal exposure for the manufacturer (and possibly retailers) is heightened.

3. Legal rights may be available.
If a child was injured (or worse) while using one of these swings, parents may have legal recourse. Potential liability may include:

• Product liability claims against the manufacturer/distributor for a defectively designed or inherently unsafe product (in this case an incline sleeper banned under federal law).

• Failure to warn or recall in a timely manner.

• Retailer liability for selling a non‐compliant product.
  At our firm, we investigate recall notices, identify whether a specific unit falls under the recall, gather purchase and usage data, and evaluate whether an injury case is ripe for action.

4. Immediate action is wise.
Families should:

• Check if the product they have is one of the recalled models (see model numbers BB501K, BB702A, BB005K). U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

• Stop using it immediately if so.

• Follow the recall instructions: contact the company, obtain refund/disposal instructions, preserve purchase receipts, serial numbers and any documentation.

• If an infant has had any adverse event (even a near miss) while using the product—seek medical evaluation and document the event.

How Ketterer, Browne & Davani Attorneys Can Help

• Product recall evaluation: We will check whether your swing is one of the recalled units, determine when and how it was purchased, and whether the retailer or manufacturer followed appropriate recall procedures.

• Injury claim investigation: If an infant was harmed, we’ll investigate design/marketing, compliance with federal standards, whether the product should have been flagged earlier, and whether third parties (retailers, importers) share liability.

• Full legal representation: We pursue compensation for medical costs, pain & suffering, future care (if needed) and hold responsible parties accountable—not just for immediate harm but for the broader safety risk.

• Resources for parents: We guide affected families in documenting incidents, preserving evidence, reporting to the CPSC or other agencies, and making informed decisions about legal action and product liability.

Key Questions & Answers for Parents

Q: What if I still have the swing at home but haven’t used it recently?
A: Even unused, the product falls under the recall if it is one of the specified models. You should follow the recall instructions—stop using it and contact the company for refund/disposal.

Q: My child used the swing but hasn’t shown any symptoms; should I still act?
A: Yes. Because the risk is suffocation (which may not produce obvious external injury) any exposure is concerning. Document usage, preserve evidence, and monitor for any issues. If you’re unsure, consult legal counsel.

Q: What if I purchased the swing second‐hand or from a marketplace seller?
A: The recall covers all units regardless of how they were acquired. Keep purchase records, model/serial number, and follow recall instructions—but also seek legal advice because resale adds complexity to potential liability.

Q: Can I seek legal action even though no injuries have been reported in the recall?
A: Potentially yes. If an infant was harmed or experienced a near-miss due to the product, a legal claim may exist. Manufacturers that violate mandatory safety standards are exposed to product‐liability claims even in the absence of large numbers of reported incidents.

Conclusion

The recall of the Vevor Baby Swings is a stark reminder: baby gear that fails to meet safety standards poses serious risks—not just to comfort, but to life.
