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.

NoteButton 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.
