YGJT Baby Lounger Recall Class Action Lawsuit

Overview

YGJT Baby Loungers, marketed as portable sleep solutions for infants, were recalled after the CPSC determined 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 SHEIN through YGJT Local Warehouse from June 2025 to December 2025 for $25–$35, these loungers feature a cloth cover with a foam pad, low sides, and wide foot openings that allow infants to roll out or become entrapped.

The design lacks a stable stand and exceeds maximum pad thickness, creating unsafe sleep environments. No injuries have been reported, but the CPSC warns of suffocation, falls, and entrapment risks, especially for infants under 6 months who are unable to self-rescue.

Consumers are directed to stop using the loungers immediately, destroy them by cutting the pad and cover, and submit photos to YGJT for a full refund. The recall, assigned number 26-015, exposes vulnerabilities in online retail of imported infant products, where foreign sellers like YGJT often bypass rigorous safety checks.

Legal experts predict class action lawsuits alleging product liability, negligence, and failure to warn, as families grapple with the financial burden of replacements and the fear of potential harm to vulnerable babies.

This recall mirrors recent actions against similar infant products, such as the 2025 LXDHSTRA Baby Loungers and Persilux Zebra Blinds, both pulled for entrapment risks. The YGJT case highlights the dangers of direct-to-consumer imports on platforms like SHEIN, where low prices ($25–$35) lure buyers but compromise safety. The plaintiff class could be extensive, given SHEIN’s global reach, and successful litigation may enforce stricter import regulations and mandatory pre-market testing for e-commerce baby gear.

Affected YGJT Baby Lounger Models

The recall targets:

YGJT Baby Lounger (Model No. Not Specified): A portable infant lounger with a foam sleeping pad, cloth cover, and padded sides, available in colors like gray, pink, and blue. Sold on SHEIN through YGJT Local Warehouse from June 2025 to December 2025 for $25–$35. Identifiable by the YGJT brand name on the product or packaging.

Consumers can verify affected products by checking the YGJT 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 YGJT Baby Loungers pose multiple safety risks, as identified by the CPSC:

Entrapment Hazard: Wide foot openings and low sides allow infants to slip through or become trapped, risking suffocation or positional asphyxia.
Fall Risk: Without a stable stand, the lounger can tip on elevated surfaces, leading to falls and head injuries.
Suffocation Danger: The sleeping pad exceeds the maximum thickness permitted, increasing the chance of infants rolling face-down into the material.
Violation of Federal Standards: The design fails 16 CFR Part 1242, which mandates safe sleep surfaces for infants under 5 months [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 YGJT Baby Loungers could lead to:

Suffocation Symptoms: Cyanosis (blue or pale skin), gasping, or unresponsiveness due to airway obstruction.
Entrapment Injuries: Abrasions, bruising, or limb trauma 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 YGJT recommend the following steps for a full refund:

Immediately stop using the recalled YGJT 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 YGJT via the recall website or email for refund processing.

YGJT is notifying known purchasers, and SHEIN is facilitating 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 YGJT’s foreign operations.

Potential for a Class Action Lawsuit

The recall of 2,500 YGJT 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.
Negligence: Claiming YGJT failed to test the product for compliance with U.S. safety regulations before selling on SHEIN.
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.
