Joyful Journeys Recalls Baby Loungers Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Entrapment and Fall Hazards; Violates Mandatory Standard for Infant Sleep Products
Sarnia Sales LLC, dba Joyful Journeys, of Issaquah, Washington · Joyful Journeys Baby Loungers
Product Description
This recall involves Joyful Journeys baby loungers. The recalled baby loungers are made of a foam sleeping pad and padded bumpers with a cloth cover. The recalled baby loungers zip up into a bag with a strap at the top. The recalled baby loungers were sold in the following styles: green avocado, blue dinosaur, blue lambs, blue zoo animals, green minky, neutral elephants, pink zoo animals, and white minky. "Joyful Journeys" can be found on a tag stitched on the outside of the lounger cover and on a label stitched directly onto the back of the lounger.
Hazard
The recalled baby loungers violate the mandatory safety standard for Infant Sleep Products. The sides are too low to contain an infant and the enclosed openings at the foot of the loungers are wider than allowed, posing serious risks of fall and entrapment hazards to infants. In addition, the baby loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard if used on elevated surfaces. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment and can cause death or serious injury to infants.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled baby loungers and contact Joyful Journeys for a full refund. Consumers should remove the foam and pads from the baby lounger's cover and cut the cover, foam, and pad in half. Consumers should email photos of the destroyed pieces to joyfuljourneysrecalls@myjoyfuljourneys.com to obtain a full refund.
Refund
Reported Injuries
