On January 15, 2026, the CPSC warned consumers to immediately stop using Ourkiss self-feeding pillows because they hold bottles at unsafe angles while keeping them fixed in place so infants cannot pull away, which can lead to aspiration of milk or formula and risk of suffocation. [1] Ourkiss has not responded to CPSC’s request to recall the pillows or offer a remedy to consumers.
Product Details
The Ourkiss self-feeding pillows are made of stuffed fabric with arms that wrap around the infant’s neck and attach to a pillow with hook and loop fasteners on each side. An elasticized mesh pocket holds the bottle at an angle in front of the infant’s face.
Approximately 370 units were sold on Amazon.com from June 2024 to July 2025 for $14 to $18. The products were manufactured by Shenzhenhaipengyuntudianzishangwuyouxiangongsi in China and sold by Ourkiss in gray and possibly other colors.
Suffocation Hazard
The pillows hold bottles at unsafe angles directly in front of infants’ faces while the elasticized mesh pocket keeps the bottle fixed in place. The arms wrap around the infant’s neck, preventing babies from pulling away even when choking or struggling to breathe, causing aspiration where liquid enters the lungs.
Refusal to Recall
Ourkiss has not responded to CPSC’s request to recall the self-feeding pillows and offer a remedy to consumers. The CPSC issued a public safety warning after the seller refused to cooperate.
CPSC Consumer Warning
The CPSC urges consumers to stop using the pillows immediately and dispose of them. Consumers should not sell or give away these hazardous products.
Safe Bottle Feeding
Never leave a bottle propped in an infant’s mouth using a pillow, blanket, or other support, even if marketed as safe or used under supervision. Always hold and closely watch your baby when feeding with a bottle, keeping the baby semi-inclined.
Legal Claims
Parents may pursue strict products liability claims alleging the pillows are defectively designed because they hold bottles at unsafe angles, wrap around infants’ necks, and prevent babies from pulling away during respiratory distress. Failure to warn claims are viable since products marketed as “self-feeding” devices imply safety when they pose deadly hazards.
Negligence claims can allege Ourkiss breached its duty to provide safe infant products and refused to recall dangerous devices despite CPSC warnings. Wrongful death claims may be filed by parents whose infants died from aspiration or suffocation while using these pillows.
Damages
Families whose infants were injured may recover medical expenses for emergency treatment, hospitalization, respiratory therapy, and ongoing care. In wrongful death cases, families can pursue damages for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and emotional trauma.
Amazon’s Role
Amazon.com was the exclusive platform for Ourkiss self-feeding pillow sales. As the retailer that facilitated sales of these dangerous infant products, Amazon may face liability for allowing distribution of bottle-propping devices known to pose suffocation risks.
Contact an Attorney
If your infant suffered injury or death from aspiration or suffocation while using an Ourkiss self-feeding pillow, contact a product liability attorney. Time limits apply and evidence including the pillow, Amazon purchase records, and medical documentation must be preserved.
