WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued an urgent warning for parents and caregivers to immediately stop using Queerick-brand infant swings, citing a serious suffocation hazard.
The affected product, sold online through Amazon between October 2023 and November 2024, is listed as model “WS-HB18” and was priced between $100 and $220. According to the CPSC, the swing violates multiple federal safety regulations, including the Safe Sleep for Babies Act and the Federal Infant Sleep Products Rule, because it has an incline greater than 10 degrees—a design shown to increase the risk of suffocation in infants.
Additionally, the swing fails to meet required safety labeling standards that warn of potential risks such as serious injury or death. The product also contains button cell and coin batteries that do not meet mandatory federal safety standards for consumer products, posing further risks.
The CPSC urges consumers to stop using the swings immediately and to dispose of them. Any batteries from the remote control should be discarded or recycled following local hazardous waste disposal guidelines.
Officials strongly advise against reselling or donating the swings, emphasizing that the product poses a danger to infants.
Consumers are encouraged to report any incidents or injuries related to this product at SaferProducts.gov.
