Overview
Belivium Baby Loungers, promoted as portable sleep nests for newborns, were recalled after the CPSC found they fail to comply with the Safety Standard for Infant Sleep Products (16 CFR Part 1242) and the Federal Safe Sleep for Babies Act [1]. Sold exclusively on Amazon.com by Belivium from July 2025 to January 2026 for $28–$35, these loungers feature a cloth cover with a foam pad, low sidewalls, and wide foot openings that enable infants to roll out or become trapped.
The design lacks a stable stand and exceeds maximum pad thickness, creating unsafe sleep environments. No incidents or injuries have been reported, but the CPSC warns of suffocation, falls, and entrapment risks, especially for infants under 6 months who cannot self-rescue. Consumers are directed to stop using the loungers immediately, destroy them by cutting the pad and cover, and submit photos to Belivium for a full refund.
The recall, numbered 26-025, underscores the perils of imported baby gear sold through e-commerce, where compliance with U.S. safety standards can be overlooked. Potential class action lawsuits are emerging, targeting Belivium for product liability and negligence, as parents confront the cost of replacements and the dread of harm to their babies.
This recall follows a series of infant sleep product alerts, such as the 2025 YGJT Baby Lounger and Mom Genius Safety Gate recalls for similar entrapment dangers. The Belivium case illustrates the hazards of direct-to-consumer imports on Amazon, where low prices ($28–$35) lure buyers but compromise quality assurance. The plaintiff class could be extensive, given Amazon’s reach, and successful litigation may mandate stricter mesh size limits and pre-market testing for e-commerce baby gear.
Affected Belivium Baby Lounger Models
The recall targets:
- Belivium Baby Lounger (Model No. Not Specified): A portable infant lounger with a foam sleeping pad, cloth cover, and padded sides, available in neutral colors like gray and beige. Sold on Amazon.com by Belivium from July 2025 to January 2026 for $28–$35. Identifiable by the Belivium brand name on the product or packaging [1].
Consumers can verify affected products by checking the Belivium label and confirming the lounger’s features (low sides, thick pad, wide foot openings). All units sold during the recall period are included, regardless of lot numbers [1].
Hazards of the Defective Baby Loungers
The Belivium Baby Loungers pose multiple safety risks, as identified by the CPSC:
- Suffocation Hazard: The sleeping pad exceeds the maximum thickness allowed under 16 CFR Part 1242, increasing the risk of infants rolling into positions that obstruct breathing.
- Entrapment Risk: Wide foot openings and low sidewalls allow infants to slip out or become trapped, potentially leading to suffocation or injury.
- Fall Hazard: Without a stable stand, the lounger can tip if placed on elevated surfaces, risking falls and head trauma.
- Violation of Federal Standards: The design fails to meet the mandatory standard for infant sleep products, which requires safe sleep surfaces and barriers to prevent rolling or entrapment [1].
These defects create a hazardous sleep environment, particularly for newborns who cannot roll over or self-correct, contributing to the CPSC’s estimate of 1,000 infant suffocation deaths annually from unsafe sleep products.
Symptoms of Potential Injuries
While no injuries have been reported, the risks of the Belivium Baby Loungers could lead to:
- Suffocation Symptoms: Cyanosis (blue or pale skin), gasping, or unresponsiveness due to airway obstruction.
- Entrapment Injuries: Bruising or lacerations from being caught in the lounger’s openings.
- Fall Injuries: Head trauma, concussions, or fractures from tipping on elevated surfaces.
- Emotional Distress: Parental anxiety or trauma from discovering a child in a dangerous position.
Medical costs for suffocation or fall incidents can range from $5,000 for emergency care to $50,000 or more for hospitalization and long-term therapy.
Recall Remedy and Consumer Actions
The CPSC and Belivium recommend the following steps for a full refund:
- Immediately stop using the recalled Belivium Baby Lounger.
- Remove the foam pad from the cover and cut both the pad and cover in half.
- Take photos of the destroyed items.
- Submit the photos and contact information to Belivium via the recall website or email for refund processing.
Belivium is notifying known purchasers, and Amazon is assisting with communications. Consumers should not resell or donate the product, as this is prohibited under federal law. Documenting purchase records and any incidents is critical for potential legal claims, as refund processing may take 2–4 weeks due to Belivium’s foreign operations [1].
Potential for a Class Action Lawsuit
The recall of 2,800 Belivium Baby Loungers, driven by their violation of federal safety standards, provides a strong foundation for class action lawsuits. Potential claims include:
- Product Liability: Alleging the loungers’ design (low sides, thick pad, wide foot openings) is defective and non-compliant with 16 CFR Part 1242 [1].
- Negligence: Claiming Belivium failed to test the product for compliance with U.S. safety regulations before selling on Amazon.
- Failure to Warn: Asserting that the company did not disclose entrapment, fall, or suffocation risks on packaging or listings.
- Breach of Consumer Protection Laws: Arguing that the loungers were misrepresented as safe for infant sleep, violating state consumer protection statutes.
