A SLEEPING product designed for babies and toddlers has been recalled over concerns it could pose a safety hazard.
The product, which could retail for as much as $50, was sold on popular websites such as Amazon, and shoppers have been told to stop using the item.
A sleep lounger is being recalled and safety chiefs found it was in breach of the rules due to its height.
Inspectors found the sides were shorter than the minimum height required, according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Chiefs warned the item could also pose a safety hazard because of the thickness of the sleeping pads.
This could increase the risk of suffocation.
And, the lounger doesn’t have a stand, which means it creates safety risks for children.
Chiefs have warned how this could lead to injury, but possible death.
No injuries have been reported, according to the agency.
More than 20,000 units were sold between January 2024 and April 2025.
Shoppers have been urged to take a series of steps following the recall order.
The product was sold by Pomona and shoppers should try to get a full refund.
But, before doing that, they destroy the sleeping product.
They must remove the pad before cutting its sides.
Then, they must send a photo to a dedicated email address as proof.
The product was suitable for newborn babies to those who are two years old.
How to handle product recall
FOOD Safety experts insist that shoppers shouldn’t panic if they’re affected by a recall, as many are harmless.
However, consumers should take each warning seriously and follow the necessary steps to protect themselves.
Oftentimes, food manufacturers issue recalls as a precautionary measure, so there likely isn’t a foodborne illness hiding in your pantry.
However, even if the recall is merely a precaution, shoppers should always stay safe and not consume the affected items.
Experts advise people to keep a product closed if it hasn’t been opened, and never feed it to a pet or donate it to food banks.
Anyone who has handled or opened an affected item should wash their hands thoroughly with warm water and soap for 20 seconds.
Read the recall closely for specific instructions on how to get rid of the food item.
Typically, the brand will ask consumers to return the recalled product to the store where they purchased it for a full refund.
Sometimes shoppers will also be asked to throw it away so that no one else can eat it.
