Vevor Baby Swings Injury & Fatal Suffocation Lawsuit Lawyers

More than 1,000 Infant Swings Sold on Amazon and Vevor.com Now Recalled for Violating Safe Sleep Standards

A product recall involving over 1,000 infant swings sold in the United States has raised alarm among parents, caregivers, and consumer safety advocates. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced a nationwide recall of Vevor Baby Swings due to a serious safety violation that could place infants at risk of suffocation.

These swings were sold on Amazon.com and Vevor.com between January and August of 2025. The recalled models are inclined beyond the federally allowed limit of 10 degrees for infant sleep products. Such designs have long been associated with dangerous sleep positions that may restrict an infant’s airway. Although no injuries have yet been reported, the product’s design fails to comply with mandatory infant sleep safety standards under the Safe Sleep for Babies Act, a federal law banning inclined sleepers linked to dozens of infant fatalities nationwide.

The recall emphasizes an urgent need to remove these products from use and explains specific steps consumers must take to obtain a full refund. For families who used these swings for their infants, the danger is not abstract — the recalled models pose a potentially lethal risk of positional asphyxia.

Which Models Are Included in the Recall?

The recall affects approximately 1,020 units of Vevor Baby Swings sold nationwide. The affected units are labeled as “Multi-Function Electric Swing” and come in two color variations:

• White/Gray
• Black/Gray

The affected model numbers are:

• BB501K
• BB702A
• BB005K

These units were marketed for infant use and promoted as suitable for sleep, further elevating the danger by encouraging prolonged use in unsafe positions. The swings were priced between $65 and $80 and sold directly to consumers via Amazon and Vevor’s official website.

Why These Baby Swings Are Dangerous

According to the CPSC, the incline angle of these swings exceeds 10 degrees, directly violating federal safety standards for infant sleep products. Medical research and infant death investigations have shown that when a baby sleeps at an incline greater than 10 degrees, their head can fall forward, restricting airflow and increasing the likelihood of positional asphyxia, or suffocation.

Unlike flat sleep surfaces recommended by pediatricians, inclined positions have been linked to over 100 infant deaths in the past decade — prompting sweeping legislation and bans on inclined sleep products.

The Safe Sleep for Babies Act, which became law in 2022, prohibits the manufacture and sale of any sleep product for infants with an incline exceeding 10 degrees. The law aims to ensure infants sleep on firm, flat surfaces, free from obstructions or angles that can compromise breathing.

The recalled Vevor swings appear to have ignored or misrepresented compliance with this law, putting families and infants at risk.

What Parents and Caregivers Should Do Immediately

Consumers in possession of these baby swings should stop using them immediately, regardless of whether a child has experienced any symptoms or harm. The CPSC emphasizes that even brief use of inclined products during naps or sleep can carry a risk of suffocation.

To qualify for a full refund, consumers must follow Vevor’s destruction and verification procedure:

1. Remove the fabric swing cover.
2. Cut the cover in half to prevent reuse or resale.
3. Write “RECALLED” in permanent marker on the base of the swing.
4. Photograph the destroyed product.
5. Email the photo to recalling@vevor.com.

Once verified, consumers will receive instructions for obtaining their refund. More information can be found at Vevor.com by clicking the “Product Recall” link at the top of the homepage.

Federal Safety Standards and the Safe Sleep for Babies Act

The Safe Sleep for Babies Act was introduced in response to a disturbing pattern of infant deaths linked to inclined sleepers, rockers, and similar products. Under this federal law:

• Inclined infant sleep products over 10 degrees are banned.
• All infant sleep products must meet ASTM safety standards.
• Manufacturers must ensure products cannot cause positional asphyxia.

The Vevor swings violate this law by exceeding the permitted incline angle, even though the swings were promoted for sleep. As a result, they pose a risk not just in practice, but under federal classification as inherently defective and dangerous.

Are There Legal Options for Parents Who Used the Recalled Swings?

Parents and caregivers who purchased these swings and used them for their infants may be wondering about their rights — especially if their child suffered respiratory distress, required emergency care, or died unexpectedly during sleep. Even though no injuries have been officially reported to date, the product’s inherent risk and failure to comply with safety laws form the basis of potential legal claims.

Legal claims may involve:

• Product liability for manufacturing and selling a dangerous product.
• Violation of federal safety standards and consumer protection laws.
• Wrongful death claims in the event of an infant fatality.
• False marketing if the swing was advertised as safe for sleep.

Families may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, emotional trauma, counseling costs, funeral expenses, and other damages related to harm or loss.

Warnings and Trends in Baby Product Recalls

The Vevor baby swing recall is part of a broader pattern of unsafe infant sleep products being pulled from the market after violating national safety standards. In recent years:

• Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play was linked to dozens of deaths, prompting a massive recall.
• The Boppy Lounger was recalled after being tied to multiple infant fatalities.
• Inclined sleepers, rockers, and other soft-surfaced baby items have been banned or recalled repeatedly due to suffocation risks.

Despite federal laws, unsafe baby products continue to be manufactured and sold, especially through third-party marketplaces like Amazon, where safety enforcement may lag behind traditional retail channels.

What to Watch for When Buying Infant Sleep Products

To reduce risk, caregivers should follow these safety recommendations when choosing products for infant sleep:

• Avoid any sleep product with an incline, even small angles.
• Do not use swings, loungers, or rockers as sleep spaces.
• Ensure the product meets the latest federal standards and is marketed for safe sleep.
• Research any product recall history or safety violations before purchasing.
• Prioritize flat, firm sleep surfaces, such as a CPSC-approved crib or bassinet.

If a product is marketed for sleep but fails to meet safety standards, it may not only be unsafe but also illegal to sell or use in certain contexts.
