Families Warned About Suffocation Risks in Recalled Recliner, Swing, and High Chair Combo Sold by Peg Perego
The Tatamia 3-in-1 product by Peg Perego was marketed as a versatile solution for parents—serving as a recliner, infant swing, and high chair all in one. However, these products have now been recalled due to a serious and potentially life-threatening flaw: they pose a suffocation risk to infants. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has confirmed that the inclined sleep angle exceeds federal standards and violates both the Infant Sleep Products Rule and the Safe Sleep for Babies Act. These laws were enacted to prevent infant suffocation incidents linked to unsafe sleep products. Products that allow infants to sleep at an incline greater than 10 degrees have repeatedly been associated with tragic outcomes, including fatalities.
Peg Perego’s Tatamia models failed to meet essential safety warnings required for high chairs. This failure compounds the danger by misleading parents into believing the products are safe for infant sleep, when in fact, the design can block an infant’s airway and result in asphyxiation.
Scope of the Recall and Product Identification
Approximately 950 units of the Peg Perego Tatamia 3-in-1 models are included in the recall. These products were sold online through major retailers such as Amazon, Target, and PegPerego.com between November 2022 and January 2025. They retailed for around $450.
The recalled items include model number IMTATANA01BL73 and were manufactured in Italy on or after June 23, 2022. The base of the product contains a label showing the manufacture date and model number in a YYYY/MM/DD format. Consumers can identify the unit by the “tatamia” name on the adjustable side, and the “Peg Perego” logo found on both the padded leather seat and the high chair tray.
While no injuries have been reported as of the recall announcement, the nature of the violation places infants at grave risk. The absence of warning labels and the excessive recline angle are both violations that could lead to silent and sudden suffocation, particularly if parents mistakenly allow unsupervised sleep in recliner or swing mode.
Why Inclined Sleepers Are Dangerous
Scientific studies and decades of infant safety data show that inclined sleepers can be deadly. Infants do not have the muscle strength or neck control to maintain a safe posture while sleeping at an incline. When placed in such a position, an infant’s head can fall forward, compressing their airway and restricting oxygen.
The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends that infants sleep on flat, firm surfaces with no incline, pillows, or loose bedding. Any deviation from these guidelines—like those presented by the Tatamia 3-in-1’s reclined and swing positions—can lead to positional asphyxia, a condition where the child cannot breathe due to body position alone.
While many parents see multi-function baby products as convenient, they often come at the cost of safety. Peg Perego’s decision to market a reclining infant product for sleep without meeting legal safety benchmarks exposes families to risks that could have easily been prevented by proper design and compliance.
Your Legal Rights if Your Child Was Harmed by This Product
If your child was injured or worse due to the use of the Peg Perego Tatamia 3-in-1 product, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Even if no physical injury occurred, families who purchased these defective products may have legal claims for refunds and emotional distress.
Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to ensure that their goods meet federal safety standards before placing them in the marketplace. Peg Perego violated multiple federal laws and sold an item that could mislead parents into using it in a way that endangers a child’s life. That type of misconduct is not just irresponsible—it may be legally actionable.
Even in the absence of a reported injury, the violation of federal rules regarding warning labels and inclined infant sleep products opens Peg Perego to product liability lawsuits. The cost of replacing a recalled unit does not compare to the lasting damage a child may suffer due to airway restriction or unsafe sleep posture.
How the Recall Works and What Consumers Are Told to Do
The recall notice instructs all consumers to stop using the Tatamia 3-in-1 product immediately. Peg Perego is offering full refunds for recalled units. To claim a refund, consumers must contact Peg Perego to receive a prepaid shipping label and return packaging.
Consumers can call Peg Perego toll-free at 877-737-3464 Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, or email service@pegperego.com. More information is also available at the company’s recall page at www.pegperego.com.
While these measures offer some restitution, they do not erase the danger that existed while the products were still in use or the stress placed on families who unknowingly used them in good faith.
