A recent NBC News report highlighted the tragic association of infant loungers with infant deaths, prompting new regulations from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Between December 2015 and September 2021, 21 deaths were reported, while further investigation revealed a total of 79 deaths and 124 injuries from 2010 to 2022. The updated regulations, effective as of May 5, 2023, demand enhanced safety standards such as firmness testing and strong warning labels, aiming to mitigate risks of suffocation and entrapment for vulnerable infants.
"These rules will help keep babies safe and give parents peace of mind at a time when their little ones are most vulnerable." - Gabe Knight
