WASHINGTON, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Kmaier-branded infant swings. The swings were marketed for infant sleep and have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees, in violation of the Safe Sleep for Babies Act, and pose a suffocation hazard. These products create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants and can cause death or serious injury.

In addition, the swings violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries. The remote control for the swing contains a lithium coin battery and the products do not bear the warning labels required under Reese's Law. If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns and death.

CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Guang Zhou Wei Chen Ke Ji You Xian Gong Si, of China, doing business as Eacofy, but the firm has not agreed to recall the swings or offer a remedy to consumers.

The infant swings were advertised on Amazon.com as: "Electric Baby Swing for Infants, Baby Rocker for Infants with 5 Speeds, 10 Lullabies, Adapter & Battery Operated, Indoor & Outdoor Use, Remote Control, Gray." The swings were sold in the following colors: yellow, gray, pink and blue. They have a round aluminum black base with control buttons on the front, a cloth cover seat with restraints, a headrest, and a canopy with hanging toys (a yellow star and a blue moon). The swings are powered by AAA batteries or an AC adaptor and came with an electronic remote control. "Rechar Inc" and "Model No. BY066" are listed on the packaging along with additional tracking information. The swings may have been sold by other third-party sellers and on other websites. The product was sold from January 2023 through December 2024 for between $70 and $800. 

These products were manufactured in China.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the infant swings immediately and dispose of them. Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. The battery in the remotes should be disposed of or recycled following local hazardous waste procedures. Do not sell or give away these hazardous infant swings.

Parents and caregivers are reminded: 

  • 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.
