CPSC warns consumers to stop using Elephtt-baby infant swings due to deadly hazards.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is urging parents and caregivers to immediately stop using and dispose of Elephtt-baby Infant Swings due to serious safety hazards and violations of federal regulations.

The agency said the swings, which were sold on Amazon.com for about $90, are being marketed as suitable for infant sleep despite featuring an incline angle greater than 10 degrees. This directly violates the Safe Sleep for Babies Act, which prohibits the sale of products for infant sleep that are not flat and firm.

The Act was passed in response to the heightened risk of suffocation and fatal injury posed by elevated sleep angles, as recognized by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

About 2,500 units of this swing model (RS003) have been sold. Each swing includes a white base, dark or light gray seat fabric, and branding marked "coolbaby" on both the seat restraint and base. These units were manufactured in China by Qingdaoyisikedianzishangwuyouxiangongsi, operating under the Elephtt-baby brand.

Battery safety law also violated

In addition to sleep safety violations, the swings also fail to meet federal safety standards regarding button cell and coin batteries.

The included remote control contains a lithium coin battery but does not feature the warning labels mandated by Reese’s Law, a regulation enacted to protect children from accidental battery ingestion.

If swallowed, button cell or coin batteries can cause catastrophic internal injuries, including chemical burns and death.

The CPSC urges that the battery be removed from the remote control and disposed of or recycled in accordance with local hazardous waste disposal procedures.

No recall or remedy offered

Despite the dangers posed by the Elephtt-baby Infant Swings, the seller has not agreed to a voluntary recall of the product, nor has the company offered consumers any form of remedy.

The CPSC has formally issued a Notice of Violation to the seller but warns that consumers should not wait for a formal recall to act.

The agency strongly urges consumers to:

Stop using the Elephtt-baby swings immediately.

Dispose of the swings safely. Do not resell or donate the swings.

Remove and properly dispose of the coin battery from the remote.

Parents and caregivers are reminded that the safest sleep environment for infants is a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet, or play yard, and that infants should always be placed on their backs to sleep. Infants should be relocated from inclined or upright positions to safe sleep environments as soon as possible.
