CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to Qiyangshiqiguangyuekejiyouxiangongsi, doing business as Fasando, on November 20, 2025 after determining the baby loungers violate mandatory Infant Sleep Products standards through multiple defects including sides too low to contain infants, enclosed foot openings wider than permitted limits, and absence of required stands. [1] The company has refused to implement a voluntary recall program or provide consumer remedies despite the regulatory violations and reported infant death. [1]
Fatal Infant Death on Adult Bed
A two-month-old infant was discovered unresponsive in 2025 after caregivers placed the baby to sleep inside a Fasando baby lounger that had been positioned on top of an adult bed. The infant’s death demonstrates the lethal combination of regulatory violations and unsafe placement practices that transform baby loungers into death traps for vulnerable infants.
Adult beds present unstable elevated surfaces that compound the fall hazards created by baby loungers lacking required stands. When loungers tip or shift on soft mattress surfaces, infants roll into side barriers or become wedged in dangerous positions causing asphyxiation.
Triple Regulatory Violations
Fasando baby loungers violate federal Infant Sleep Products standards through three distinct defects that each independently create life-threatening hazards. The side barriers measure below minimum height requirements, preventing them from containing infants who roll or shift positions during sleep cycles.
The enclosed openings at the foot of the loungers exceed maximum width specifications, creating gaps large enough for infants’ heads and bodies to become trapped. The complete absence of stands violates requirements for elevated surface protection, permitting loungers to be used on beds, tables, and counters where fall risks multiply.
Product Identification Details
The violative baby loungers consist of foam sleeping pads surrounded by padded bumpers enclosed in cloth covers available in six decorative patterns: grey elephant, baby blue animals, blue animals, gold elephant, pink lion, and yellow elephant. Each lounger incorporates snaps and ribbon ties at the bottom designed to close the sleeping compartment around infants.
“Fasando” appears on bright blue labels stitched to the exterior of lounger covers, while manufacturing details are printed on labels affixed to product packaging. The loungers were manufactured in China and imported exclusively by Qiyangshiqiguangyuekejiyouxiangongsi for distribution through online retail channels.
Amazon Distribution Network
Fasando served as the exclusive seller of these baby loungers on Amazon.com, distributing approximately 6,200 units for approximately $35 each between August 2024 and July 2025. The products may have also reached consumers through other e-commerce platforms and online marketplaces beyond Amazon’s distribution network.
Manufacturer Refusal to Recall
Qiyangshiqiguangyuekejiyouxiangongsi has rejected CPSC’s Notice of Violation and refused to initiate a voluntary recall or establish consumer remedy programs despite clear evidence of regulatory violations and the documented infant death. The company’s refusal to cooperate with federal safety regulators demonstrates reckless indifference to infant welfare and ongoing risks to consumers who already purchased the violative products.
CPSC’s public warning instructs consumers to immediately cease using Fasando baby loungers, remove foam padding, cut covers in half, and dispose of both components. The agency specifically warns against selling or donating the hazardous loungers to prevent additional exposures.
Low Side Barrier Failures
Federal Infant Sleep Products standards mandate minimum side barrier heights sufficient to prevent infants from rolling over edges during normal sleep movements. Fasando loungers’ deficiently low sides fail to provide containment when infants shift positions, stretch, or exhibit startle reflexes during sleep transitions.
When side barriers stand below regulatory minimums, infants easily roll over edges and fall to lower surfaces or become wedged between loungers and adjacent furniture. Even minor movements during REM sleep cycles can propel infants over inadequate side barriers.
Excessive Foot Opening Widths
The enclosed openings at the foot of Fasando loungers exceed maximum permitted widths, creating oversized gaps where infants’ heads can slip through while shoulders remain trapped. Head entrapment in foot openings causes compression of airways and restriction of breathing as infants struggle against fabric barriers.
Infants who wiggle downward during sleep can slide feet-first through oversized foot openings until heads become wedged in constricted passages. The resulting compression of neck and throat structures blocks oxygen flow and causes rapid asphyxiation.
Stand Absence Violations
Federal regulations require infant sleep products to incorporate stands that prevent placement on elevated surfaces like beds, sofas, and tables. Fasando loungers completely lack these mandated stands, permitting caregivers to position them on any surface including unstable adult beds where the fatal incident occurred.
Without stands, loungers placed on elevated surfaces become fall hazards when they tip, slide, or shift positions. The documented death involved a lounger positioned on an adult bed, exactly the scenario that stand requirements are designed to prevent.
Strict Liability for Regulatory Violations
Products violating mandatory federal safety standards are defective per se under strict products liability doctrines. Fasando’s triple violations of Infant Sleep Products standards establish liability without requiring proof of negligence or intent.
Manufacturers selling products that fail to comply with federal safety regulations face automatic liability for resulting injuries and deaths. The documented violations provide conclusive evidence of defective conditions creating unreasonable dangers.
Negligent Design and Testing
Fasando’s violations demonstrate failures to conduct adequate design review and compliance testing before importing products into United States markets. Competent manufacturers verify products meet all applicable federal standards through laboratory testing and engineering analysis prior to commercial distribution.
The three distinct violations affecting every unit sold suggest systematic design failures rather than isolated manufacturing errors. Proper pre-market testing would have identified side height deficiencies, excessive foot opening widths, and stand absences before products reached consumers.
Wrongful Death Damages
The family of the two-month-old infant who died while sleeping in a Fasando lounger may pursue wrongful death litigation against Qiyangshiqiguangyuekejiyouxiangongsi for funeral costs, loss of companionship, parental grief, and punitive damages. Infant deaths from products violating federal safety standards warrant maximum compensation including punitive awards to punish egregious misconduct.
Failure to Recall After Violation Notice
Qiyangshiqiguangyuekejiyouxiangongsi’s refusal to implement recalls or remedies after receiving CPSC’s Notice of Violation demonstrates willful disregard for public safety. Companies that reject regulatory compliance obligations after official violations are documented face enhanced liability for continuing to expose consumers to known hazards.
The refusal to recall permits consumers who already purchased loungers to continue using violative products, perpetuating risks of additional injuries and deaths. This obstinacy supports claims for punitive damages based on conscious indifference to human life.
Personal Injury Claims for Near-Misses
Infants who experienced fall incidents, entrapment events, or breathing difficulties in Fasando loungers but survived without permanent injuries may still recover damages for medical treatment, parental emotional distress, and future monitoring costs. Even temporary oxygen deprivation can cause neurological damage requiring ongoing medical surveillance.
Consumer Protection Violations
Selling products that violate federal safety standards constitutes deceptive trade practices under state consumer protection statutes. Purchasers who paid $35 for baby loungers marketed as safe infant sleep products but received illegally defective products suffered economic harm entitling them to refunds, statutory damages, and attorneys’ fees.
Contact an Attorney
If your infant was injured or died while using a Fasando baby lounger, contact a products liability attorney immediately. Preserve the lounger with all labeling intact, packaging materials, purchase receipts, photographs of the incident scene, and complete medical records documenting injuries or death.
