Warning: Don’t buy or use the La-La-Me infant lounger due to fall and suffocation risk

Inclined Sleeper La La Me Don't Use Doesn't Meet Safety StandardsAnother maker of inclined sleepers is refusing to recall its dangerous product.

Stop using La-La-Me infant loungers because they don’t comply with federal safety standards for infant Sleep products and pose a suffocation risk and fall hazard to infants, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns.

The lounger is an unsafe sleeping environment for infants, the agency said. The failures include not having a stand, and not meeting the requirements for side height, fabric-sided openings, markings, labeling, and instructional literature.

The lounger and its packaging also lack a tracking label containing required information, such as the date of manufacture, required for children’s products including durable infant, or toddler products.

The seller, La-La-Me hasn’t agreed to a recall, the CPSC said.

The infant loungers are advertised as Organic Newborn Loungers and were sold in different printed fabrics and colors including crème beige, petal pink, sky blue, and white. They were sold online for between $60 and $130. LaLaMe is printed on a label on the loungers.   

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

Parents and caregivers are reminded:

  • Remember, 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.
  • Place infants on their backs to sleep. 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’s so important that parents, especially new parents, know the basics of safe sleeping for infants.
