  • CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using ZonLi Home Baby Loungers Due to Suffocation, Fall and Entrapment Hazards; Violations of Federal Safety Regulations for Infant Sleep Products; Sold on Amazon.com

    Release Date: July 25, 2024

    Release Number: 24-320

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using and dispose of ZonLi Home Baby Loungers because they pose suffocation, fall and entrapment hazards for infants.

    The baby loungers violate federal safety regulations for Infant Sleep Productsbecause the sides are too low to contain the infant; the sleeping pad is too thick, posing a suffocation hazard; an infant could fall out of an enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger or become entrapped; and the loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard if used on elevated surfaces. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants.

    The loungers were sold online at Amazon.com from December 2022 through February 2024 for between about $27 and $50. “ZONLI HOME” is printed on a tag sewn onto the interior of the lounger’s removable pink fabric cover. CPSC tested the pink baby lounger, and CPSC is aware ZonLi Home branded baby loungers were also sold on Amazon.com in additional fabric colors and prints including beige, mint green, natural and pink elephant.  

    CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to a seller of the ZonLi Home Baby Lounger, Jiujiangsanyinglaowufuwuyouxiangongsi, of China, doing business as Sarah-Home and Kuang JinLong, but the firm has not agreed to recall these loungers or offer a remedy to consumers. In addition, ZonLi Home baby loungers were sold by several other sellers on Amazon.com, including Thirdream, qinghua che doing business as ZONLI HOME, yongxiang wang doing business as ZoniLi Home, Viki Direct, and AmazingDealz1.

    CPSC urges consumers to stop using and destroy all ZonLi Home baby loungers immediately.  To destroy the product, first remove the fabric cover. Cut-up the lounger cover and interior sleeping pad, and then dispose of the pieces in the trash or textile recycling, in accordance with local garbage collection policies.

    Although the Infant Sleep Products regulation is applicable to products manufactured on or after June 23, 2022, these loungers do not have a required date of manufacture labeled on the product or packaging, and therefore, CPSC urges consumers to stop using all ZonLi Home baby loungers. Further, CPSC continues to advise firms to stop sale of non-compliant infant sleep products regardless of the date of manufacture.

    Parents and caregivers are reminded:

    • The best place for an infant to sleep is on a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet or play yard.
    • Use a fitted sheet only and never add blankets, pillows, padded crib bumpers, or other items to an infant’s sleeping environment.
    • Infants should always be placed to sleep on their back. Infants who fall asleep in an inclined or upright position should be moved to a safe sleep environment with a firm, flat surface such as a crib, bassinet or play yard.

    Report any incidents involving injury or product defect to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov.

  • CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using High-Powered Magnetic Ball Sets Due to Ingestion Hazard; Violation of the Federal Safety Regulation for Toy Magnet Sets; Sold by Dongguan Qihangren Trade

    Release Date: July 18, 2024

    Release Number: 24-306

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using and dispose of magnetic ball sets sold by Dongguan Qihangren Trade because the loose, hazardous magnets pose a risk of serious injury or death if ingested by children.

    CPSC testing determined the magnets do not comply with the requirements of the mandatory federal regulation for magnet toys because they contain one or more strong magnets that fit within CPSC’s small parts cylinder.

    When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract to each other, or to another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death. 

    CPSC estimates 2,400 magnet ingestions were treated in hospital emergency departments annually from 2017 through 2021. CPSC is aware of eight deaths since 2005 involving the ingestion of hazardous magnets, including two outside of the United States.

    CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Dongguan Qihangren Trade Co. Ltd., of China, but the firm has not agreed to an acceptable recall or offer a remedy to consumers. The 216-Piece magnetic ball sets were sold online at www.us.shein.com for about $9. 

    The sets of silver magnetic balls were sold in the form of a cube. The sets were sold encased in a clear plastic case and a portable tin storage box.  

    CPSC urges consumers to stop using the Magnetic Ball Sets immediately, take them away from children, and dispose of them
