CPSC Urges Immediate Disposal of Fasando Baby Loungers After Infant Fatality and Fall/Entrapment Hazards Reported

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued an urgent public safety warning for parents and caregivers regarding Fasando-branded baby loungers. These loungers, sold through online marketplaces such as Amazon.com, have been linked to serious hazards, including entrapment and fatal falls. The CPSC is aware of the tragic death of a two-month-old infant who suffocated while sleeping in one of these loungers placed on an adult bed.

Approximately 6,200 units were sold between August 2024 and July 2025. Despite being clearly non-compliant with federal infant sleep safety standards, the manufacturer has refused to issue a recall or offer refunds, leaving families vulnerable to injury or loss. The risk is so severe that the CPSC has advised families not only to stop using the product but also to cut the lounger cover in half and dispose of it completely.

This public safety issue carries legal consequences, especially for parents whose children were harmed. Understanding the hazards, product defects, and legal rights available is critical.

What Is the Fasando Baby Lounger and Why Was It Sold?

The Fasando baby lounger is a soft, padded infant resting product manufactured in China and sold primarily online through Amazon.com. It was marketed to parents as a cozy, portable sleeping aid for newborns and young infants. These loungers were available in several colors and patterns, including grey elephant, blue animals, gold elephant, and pink lion.

Each lounger included a foam pad and fabric bumpers that formed a nest-like sleeping area. The ends featured snaps and ribbon ties designed to adjust the size or enclose the foot of the lounger.

Retailing for approximately $35, the product’s low price and appealing design made it attractive to budget-conscious parents. However, it failed to meet multiple federal safety standards for infant sleep products, making it a hidden danger in homes across the country.

Violations of the Federal Infant Sleep Product Standard

Federal law now mandates that infant sleep products meet strict criteria to prevent accidental suffocation, entrapment, and falls. The Fasando baby lounger violates several of these requirements:

• Low Sidewalls: The sides are not high enough to prevent rolling, allowing infants to move into unsafe positions or fall.
• Excessive Foot Opening Width: The closure area at the base of the lounger is wider than allowed, increasing the likelihood of head entrapment.
• No Stand or Support: Without a stand, placing the lounger on raised surfaces like adult beds or couches significantly raises the risk of falls.

These issues create a dangerous sleep environment. The lounger can cause positional asphyxia (where an infant’s airway is obstructed due to body positioning) or allow an infant to fall or become trapped against soft surfaces.

These violations directly conflict with safety rules under the Infant Sleep Products Final Rule (16 CFR Part 1236) and the Safe Sleep for Babies Act, both designed to eliminate unsafe sleeping devices from the marketplace.

Infant Death Linked to the Fasando Lounger

The most alarming aspect of this safety alert is the confirmed fatality involving a Fasando baby lounger. In 2025, a two-month-old infant was placed in a Fasando lounger on an adult bed and later found unresponsive. The child reportedly suffocated during sleep.

This tragic case is not isolated when it comes to similar loungers. Past product recalls and investigations have shown that any sleep environment that is soft, sloped, or enclosed significantly increases the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and suffocation-related injuries. The Fasando lounger creates such an environment and its non-compliance with safety standards made this outcome tragically predictable.

The CPSC has not received cooperation from the manufacturer, Qiyangshiqiguangyuekejiyouxiangongsi, a China-based seller operating under the Fasando brand. No voluntary recall has been issued. As a result, these products remain in homes, possibly endangering more infants.

What the CPSC Recommends to Parents and Caregivers

The CPSC is taking the unusual step of advising consumers to destroy the product. Parents are urged to:

• Stop using the product immediately
• Remove the foam pad
• Cut the fabric cover in half
• Dispose of both the cover and foam
• Do not donate, resell, or give the lounger away

The agency also reinforces guidelines for infant sleep safety:

• Always place infants to sleep on their backs.
• Use a firm, flat surface such as a crib, bassinet, or approved play yard.
• Do not use pillows, blankets, or inclined surfaces.
• Never place an infant in a soft-sided lounger for sleep.

These reminders align with recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics and should be followed even outside the context of recalled or hazardous products.

What Legal Rights Do Parents Have After Injury or Death?

When a defective product causes serious injury or death, the manufacturer and distributor can be held accountable under product liability laws. In this case, Fasando sold a non-compliant product that violated clear federal safety standards. They also failed to issue a recall or provide any consumer remedy after a reported fatality.

Potential legal claims include:

• Wrongful death: Families who lost a child may be eligible to pursue compensation for emotional anguish, funeral costs, and other damages.
• Product liability: Claims may arise due to the design defect, failure to warn, and sale of a product that violates federal law.
• Negligent failure to recall: Fasando’s refusal to remove the product from the market could constitute negligence and strengthen a legal case.
• False advertising or deceptive practices: If the product was marketed as safe for sleep or rest, those claims may also be challenged in court.

Because Fasando is based outside the United States, legal strategy may involve Amazon as a distributor, depending on the facts of each case.

Who May Be Eligible to File a Claim?

The following groups may be eligible to take legal action:

• Parents of children who suffered fatal or non-fatal injuries while using the Fasando lounger
• Families who experienced suffocation, breathing distress, or fall injuries
• Anyone who purchased a Fasando lounger and believes their infant was placed at risk

Documented injuries, medical records, or any communication with the seller or Amazon may help support a claim. Photographs of the product, packaging, and sales confirmation (e.g., email receipts) can also be used as evidence.

A product liability attorney can help determine whether you qualify to participate in an individual lawsuit or join a larger consumer action if one is filed.
