TADAKAZU Baby Loungers Recalled Over Suffocation and Injury Risk
Product Recalls - July 13, 2025
TADAKAZU Baby Loungers Violate Federal Regulations Related to Infant Sleep Products
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (July 12, 2025) – TADAKAZU Baby Loungers have been recalled because they can pose a serious risk of suffocation, falling, and entrapment for infants.
The recall was issued on June 18, 2025. Roughly 7600 units were sold prior to the recall.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the portable TADAKAZU Baby Loungers violate federal safety standards for infant sleep products. In particular, the sides are shorter than the minimum height needed to properly secure an infant.
The sleeping pad also exceeds the maximum limit for sleep products. This can create a suffocation hazard. Another issue with the product is that it does not have a stand, which could lead to it falling over.
No injuries have been reported at this time. The product could be purchased on Amazon.
Liability for Injuries Caused by Baby Loungers
Injuries involving baby products may seem like freak occurrences, but these accidents are far too common. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, “In 2023, there were an estimated 60,400 emergency department (ED)-treated injuries among children younger than 5 years of age that were associated with nursery products (i.e., nursery products were in use at the time of incident but were not necessarily the cause).” Companies should take a number of measures to avoid selling dangerous products.
- Compliance: Companies should become intimately familiar with all of the safety standards for whatever product they are looking to create.
- Testing: Companies should test their products and all of the ways that they are likely to be used and misused.
- Material Selection: Companies should use sturdy materials that are not likely to break to create their products.
Companies can be legally responsible if their product injures a consumer. When examining liability, the important question to consider is whether or not the product had any design, manufacturing, or marketing defects. Designed defects are inherent to the way that a product exists. A manufacturing defect occurs when something goes wrong as the product is being created. A marketing defect occurs when a company fails to warn consumers about the non-obvious dangers associated with their product. There are many different ways that a baby product could be defective.
- A product may have violated federal safety standards.
- A product may have small parts that break off and become choking hazards.
- A product may fail to warn consumers about latent dangers.
It can be hard to know where to begin if your child has been injured by a consumer product. Many injuries to very young children can cause serious disabilities and neurological trauma. To make matters worse, companies will virtually never accept responsibility if their product injures a consumer. This is why it is so important that accident victims seek the guidance of an experienced attorney. An attorney can examine all of the unique facts of your case free of cost and let you know if you have a claim that can be pursued.
