Latest Updates
On January 15, 2026, the CPSC warned consumers to immediately stop using Miocololy self-feeding pillows because they hold a bottle at an unsafe angle while keeping it fixed in place so the infant cannot pull away, which can lead to aspiration of milk or formula and risk of suffocation. [1] Miocololy-US has not agreed to recall the self-feeding pillows or offer a remedy to consumers.
Product Details
The dangerous self-feeding pillows are made of stuffed fabric and have an elastic sleeve to hold a bottle in front of an infant’s face. They were sold in pink and gray and may have been available in other colors.
Approximately 2,380 units were sold online at Amazon.com from October 2024 through November 2025 for between $15 and $25. The products were imported and sold by Miocololy-US of China and manufactured in China.
Life-Threatening Hazards
The self-feeding pillows create a deadly hazard by holding a bottle at an unsafe angle directly in front of an infant’s face. The elastic sleeve keeps the bottle fixed in place, preventing the baby from pulling away even if they are choking or struggling to breathe.
This design can lead to aspiration of milk or formula, where liquid enters the lungs instead of the stomach, posing a serious risk of suffocation. Bottle propping with these pillows could cause an infant to choke or aspirate, resulting in immediate serious injury or death.
Refusal to Recall
Miocololy-US has refused to recall the self-feeding pillows despite the CPSC’s warnings about the risk of infant death. The Chinese importer has not agreed to offer any remedy to consumers who purchased these dangerous products.
CPSC Consumer Warning
The CPSC urges consumers to stop using the self-feeding pillows immediately and dispose of them. Consumers should not sell or give away these hazardous products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission-ordered recall or voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC. Parents and caregivers who continue using these pillows risk their infant’s death from aspiration or suffocation.
Safe Bottle Feeding Practices
The CPSC reminds parents and caregivers to never leave a bottle propped in an infant’s mouth using a pillow, self-feeding pillow, blanket, or other support, even if the product is marketed as safe or used under supervision. Always hold and closely watch your baby when feeding with a bottle, keeping the baby semi-inclined.
Never allow infants to feed unattended. Parents should seek guidance from medical professionals when feeding multiple babies and avoid the temptation to bottle prop.
Why Bottle Propping Is Deadly
Bottle propping devices like the Miocololy self-feeding pillow prevent infants from controlling the flow of milk or formula into their mouths. When babies cannot pull away from a bottle, they may be forced to continue swallowing even when they need to pause for breath.
This can result in aspiration, where liquid enters the airway and lungs instead of the esophagus and stomach. Aspiration can cause immediate choking, suffocation, and death, or lead to aspiration pneumonia and long-term respiratory complications.
Legal Theories for Lawsuits
Parents whose infants suffered injuries or death from Miocololy self-feeding pillows may pursue strict products liability claims. The pillows are defectively designed because they hold bottles at unsafe angles and prevent infants from pulling away when experiencing respiratory distress.
Failure to warn claims are viable since the products lack adequate warnings about the risk of infant death from aspiration and suffocation. The marketing of these pillows as “self-feeding” devices implies they are safe for unattended use when they actually pose a deadly hazard.
Negligence claims can allege Miocololy-US breached its duty to provide safe products for infants. The company’s refusal to recall the pillows despite CPSC warnings demonstrates willful disregard for infant safety.
Wrongful death claims may be filed by parents whose infants died from aspiration or suffocation while using these bottle-propping pillows. Damages can include funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and emotional distress.
Damages Available
Families whose infants were injured by Miocololy self-feeding pillows may recover compensatory damages for medical expenses including emergency treatment, hospitalization, respiratory therapy, and ongoing care for aspiration-related injuries. Additional compensation may be available for pain and suffering, permanent injuries, and lost quality of life.
In wrongful death cases, families can pursue damages for funeral and burial expenses, loss of companionship and love, and the profound emotional trauma of losing an infant to a preventable suffocation death. Punitive damages may be warranted given Miocololy-US’s refusal to recall the deadly products despite CPSC warnings.
Amazon’s Role
Amazon.com was the exclusive retailer for Miocololy self-feeding pillows, selling approximately 2,380 units between October 2024 and November 2025. As the platform that facilitated sales of these dangerous infant products, Amazon may face liability for allowing the distribution of bottle-propping devices known to pose suffocation risks.
Class Action Potential
With approximately 2,380 Miocololy self-feeding pillows sold on Amazon, a class action lawsuit could address the widespread distribution of these deadly products. Multiple families may have purchased the pillows believing they were safe infant feeding aids based on the misleading marketing.
Contact an Attorney
If your infant suffered injury or death from aspiration or suffocation while using a Miocololy self-feeding pillow, contact a product liability attorney immediately. Time limits apply to filing wrongful death and product liability claims, and evidence including the pillow, packaging, Amazon purchase records, and medical documentation must be preserved.
