The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning parents to immediately stop using Fasando baby loungers after a two-month-old died while sleeping in one on an adult bed. Roughly 6,200 of the $35 loungers were sold on Amazon.com between August 2024 and July 2025, and the agency says the product never should have been marketed as a sleep item in the first place.
Key Points
- The CPSC’s warning, issued after an infant death was reported, says Fasando loungers violate the federal mandatory standard for infant sleep products.
- The sides of the lounger are too low to contain an infant, and the openings at the foot of the lounger are wider than the standard allows, creating both a fall risk and an entrapment risk.
- The lounger has no stand, which means it poses an additional fall hazard whenever it’s used on an elevated surface such as a bed, sofa or changing table, exactly where the reported death occurred.
- About 6,200 units were sold on Amazon.com for approximately $35 each between August 2024 and July 2025, and possibly through other websites as well.
Loungers like this one have flooded online marketplaces since federal regulators finalized a mandatory federal safety standard for infant sleep products, a rule written specifically because inclined and low-sided products marketed for napping had been linked to infant deaths from suffocation and falls. Products sold as loungers, nappers, or “co-sleepers” that don’t meet that standard are still turning up for sale despite the rule, which is part of why the CPSC is warning consumers directly rather than waiting on a formal recall process.
What’s Included
- Fasando-branded infant loungers sold on Amazon.com between August 2024 and July 2025.
- Soft, low-sided lounger cushions marketed for napping or lounging, not enclosed bassinets or cribs.
- Sold at a price point of roughly $35.
What Parents Should Do
- Stop using the lounger immediately, including for supervised naps or “just for a few minutes” use.
- The CPSC’s specific remedy for this product is destruction, not resale or donation: remove the foam padding, cut the fabric cover in half, and throw both pieces away so the product cannot re-enter circulation.
- Move infant sleep to a firm, flat surface inside a crib, bassinet, or play yard that meets current federal safety standards, never a lounger, pillow-like product, or adult bed.
- Keep the sleep space bare: no blankets, pillows, bumpers, or loose soft bedding of any kind.
- Always place infants on their backs to sleep, per longstanding pediatric guidance, regardless of what product they’re sleeping in or on.
- Never place any infant sleep product, lounger included, on a bed, sofa, cushioned surface, or other elevated furniture. Falls from those surfaces are a distinct and recurring hazard the CPSC flags again and again.
- If a caregiver other than a parent — a grandparent, babysitter, or overnight guest — is watching the baby, make sure they know the sleep-space rules too, since loungers are frequently used specifically during those handoffs.
- Check any nursery product you already own against the CPSC’s warnings and recalls list at cpsc.gov/Recalls, since inclined and low-sided loungers from multiple brands have drawn similar warnings.
