Recall alert: This baby swing sold at Walmart could suffocate infants
A baby swing sold on Walmart's website was recalled because of concerns it could pose a suffocation risk to infants, according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. The COMEONROA-branded electric baby swing poses a suffocation risk, which could lead to serious injury or death, the commission wrote on its website April 17. This is because the product is marketed for infant sleep and it has an incline greater than 10 degrees, which violates the Safe Sleep for Babies Act (SSBA). 'The SSBA prohibits not only the sale of inclined sleepers for infants and crib bumpers, but also the manufacture for sale, distribution or importation in the United States of these products,' the commission explained in a post on it website in 2023. 'These rules aim to save infants' lives and create a safer marketplace for parents.' The swing also fails to meet the mandatory warning requirements under the swing standard and is missing the required warnings and instructions for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries under Reese's Law. The infant swings were sold for $80 on Walmart's website from January 2024 through February 2025. The product has a blue space-themed pattern and a black base with a touch-screen panel, a star and a moon hanging plush toys, a pillow, a seat cover and a mosquito net with a canopy. The product measures 25.5 inches in length, 25.5 inches in width and 20.8 inches in height and comes with a remote control and USB cable, the release states. 'Model No.:S-Y608″ and 'Baby cradle swing' are printed on a label located under the seat. About 410 of these products are being recalled. 'Consumers should stop using the recalled infant swings immediately,' the commission said. Those who purchased the baby swing can contact Eonroacoo for a full refund. The company asks that consumers send a photo of the swing cover cut in half and of the swing with 'Recalled' written with a permanent marker on its base, to eonroacoorecall@ and then dispose of the swing.
