Infant Swing Recalled Over Suffocation Risk, Safety Violations
Sold on Amazon, the recalled baby swing violates federal safety laws and could pose a suffocation risk.
WASHINGTON, DC — More than 1,400 electric infant swings sold on Amazon under the brand "Nezmdi" have been recalled due to serious safety risks, including suffocation hazards and multiple federal violations, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The recall, issued May 22, affects Nezmdi baby swings that violate the Safe Sleep for Babies Act because they feature an incline angle greater than 10 degrees and were advertised for infant sleep.
The swings also lack mandatory warnings required under federal regulations and include a remote control powered by a lithium coin battery without proper labeling and safety instructions, a violation of Reese’s Law.
