Vevor Baby Swings Recalled for Suffocation Risk: What Parents Need to Know and How to File a Claim

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced the recall of approximately 1,020 Vevor Baby Swings due to a serious suffocation hazard. Manufactured by Sanven Technology and sold on Vevor.com and Amazon between January and August 2025, these swings have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees, which violates federal safety regulations for infant sleep products and the Inclined Sleepers Ban under the Safe Sleep for Babies Act.

While no injuries have yet been reported, the risk posed by inclined sleepers is well-documented. These products have been linked to dozens of infant deaths over the years, prompting sweeping legislation banning their sale. Consumers who purchased or used these recalled baby swings may be eligible to seek compensation if a child was harmed or placed at risk.

Details of the Vevor Baby Swing Recall

The recall includes the following models of Vevor Baby Swings, all labeled “Multi-Function Electric Swing” on the product base:

• Model BB501K: White/gray swing with a white base
• Model BB702A: White/gray swing with a gray base
• Model BB005K: Black/gray swing with a black base

Each swing bears the “VEVOR” trademark, and some models come equipped with a sun visor and mosquito net, marketed for sleep convenience. These features could lead parents to mistakenly believe the swing is safe for overnight use. The swings were sold online for $65–$80 and manufactured in China.

The hazard arises from the swing’s incline, which exceeds 10 degrees. Under federal law, infant sleep products must maintain a surface incline under 10 degrees to reduce the risk of positional asphyxia. In this condition, a baby’s airway becomes blocked due to improper head or neck position.

Why Inclined Sleepers Are Dangerous

Decades of research and tragic real-world cases have shown that inclined sleep surfaces are unsafe for infants. When babies sleep on an angle greater than 10 degrees, gravity can cause their heads to fall forward, restricting airflow. This condition, known as positional asphyxia, can cause death within minutes.

Between 2005 and 2019, inclined sleepers were linked to at least 94 infant deaths, according to the CPSC. As a result, Congress passed the Safe Sleep for Babies Act, which bans the manufacture and sale of inclined sleep products and mandates strict design standards for infant sleep safety.

Vevor Baby Swings violate these standards, placing children at risk of suffocation if used for napping or overnight sleep.

What Parents Are Being Told to Do

Consumers are instructed to stop using the product immediately and contact Sanven Technology for a full refund. The refund process requires:

• Cutting the swing cover in half
• Writing “RECALLED” in permanent marker on the swing’s base
• Sending a photo of the damaged product to: recalling@vevor.com
• Disposing of the swing according to local and state waste regulations

While no injuries have been reported at the time of the recall, the nature of the risk is serious. Families who used the swing for infant sleep—especially overnight—may have unknowingly exposed their child to fatal dangers.

Who Could Be Entitled to File a Lawsuit?

The recall raises several legal concerns. Multiple groups of victims may be eligible to file lawsuits or participate in legal claims:

Parents of Infants Who Suffered Injury or Death

Any child who suffered suffocation, oxygen deprivation, brain injury, or death while using a Vevor swing—especially for sleep—may be the basis of a wrongful death or personal injury lawsuit. Even if the child survived, long-term injuries may warrant financial compensation.

Parents Who Relied on the Swing for Safe Sleep

Even without physical injury, parents who were misled by the swing’s marketing or design into believing the product was safe for sleep may pursue legal claims for emotional distress, consumer fraud, or product misrepresentation, particularly under state consumer protection laws.

Class Action Participants

If enough families were misled or placed at risk, a nationwide class action lawsuit could be filed against Sanven Technology, Vevor, and possibly Amazon for distributing the product. This would allow all affected consumers to seek compensation for monetary losses or emotional distress.

Defendants in Legal Claims Could Include:

• Sanven Technology (manufacturer)
• Vevor.com (distributor)
• Amazon.com (retailer, especially if held to strict liability for selling unsafe infant products)

Manufacturers and distributors have a duty to comply with federal safety standards and to avoid marketing products for sleep that could result in injury or death.

Legal Grounds for Infant Product Injury Claims

Legal claims involving unsafe infant sleep products typically fall under the following legal categories:

Product Liability

Manufacturers can be held accountable if a product is defective in design, manufacturing, or fails to include adequate warnings about risks. A baby swing violating federal law likely falls under this umbrella.

Wrongful Death

Families who lost a child due to suffocation while using the swing could file for wrongful death, seeking compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.

Consumer Protection Violations

If the product was marketed or presented in a way that misled parents into using it for sleep, state laws may allow claims for deceptive trade practices or false advertising.

Negligence

Failing to test, certify, or warn about the dangers of inclined sleep use may also be considered negligence by the manufacturer and sellers.

Vevor Baby Swing Recall Lawsuit FAQs

What makes the Vevor baby swings unsafe?

The swings were marketed for infant sleep and have a recline angle of over 10 degrees, violating federal safety standards. This design increases the risk of suffocation through positional asphyxia, especially during overnight or unsupervised sleep.

Which models are part of the recall?

The recalled models include BB501K (white base), BB702A (gray base), and BB005K (black base). All were sold online from January to August 2025 and are labeled with the “VEVOR” trademark and “Multi-Function Electric Swing.”

Can I sue if my baby was hurt while using one of these swings?

Yes. If your child suffered injury, oxygen deprivation, or death while using the swing, you may be eligible to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. Families may also seek compensation for emotional trauma and stress caused by the recall.

What if no injury occurred, but I bought the swing for safe infant sleep?

Even without physical injury, you may have a valid claim under consumer protection laws for misrepresentation or emotional distress if you were led to believe the swing was safe for infant sleep.

How much compensation could I receive?

Compensation varies based on the severity of harm. It may include medical bills, lost wages (if a parent had to care for an injured child), funeral expenses, emotional suffering, and punitive damages for corporate misconduct.

What should I do if I still have the swing?

Stop using it immediately. Follow the CPSC instructions: destroy the swing cover, mark the base as “RECALLED,” take photos, and contact Sanven Technology for a refund.

Who can be held legally responsible?

Potential defendants include Sanven Technology (manufacturer), Vevor (distributor), and Amazon (retailer), depending on the facts of the case. Each may share liability for marketing and selling an unsafe product to consumers.
