Gorsetle baby loungers Recall

 

Gorsetle baby loungers

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Gorsetle baby loungers and notes the following:

These baby loungers do not comply with the federal safety standard for infant sleep products, posing a risk of suffocation and fall hazard to infants.

The loungers fail to meet the safety requirements of CPSC’s Infant Sleep Products Rule because they do not have a stand. In addition, these baby loungers fail to meet the markings, labeling, and instructional literature requirements. These failures create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants. 

The lounger and its packaging also lack a tracking label containing required information, including the date of manufacture. 

These infant loungers were advertised as 

GORSETLE Baby Loungers, 

Portable Infant Floor Seat Ultra Soft & Breathable 

Newborn Lounger Baby Registry Essential Gift Great for Travel and Tummy Time (Crown). 

The loungers include a head pillow and fold into a portable handbag with a handle. The loungers were sold in three different printed fabrics including Crown, Jungle Animal, and Little Elephant. 

The loungers were sold online at www.amazon.com for about $60. 

Parents and caregivers are reminded about the safe sleeping rules for babies:

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.

It is important to also note:

The seller, Gorsetle US, is not cooperating with CPSC on a recall of this product and is not offering a remedy to consumers.

What should you do if you have this lounger?

The CPSC urges consumers to immediately stop using the loungers, cut the fabric, and dispose of the fabric and the pillow immediately. 

Additionally, parents and cargivers can report any incidents involving product injuries or defects to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov.

On a personal note, the fact that this company is not cooperating is quite astonishing. Hopefully that changes as more people learn about this recall.
