Jool Nova Baby Swing Recalled for Suffocation Risk
In March 2024, about 63,100 Jool Nova Baby Swings were recalled because they pose a deadly suffocation hazard if babies fall asleep.
What is the Problem?
Baby swings are not safe for sleep if they have an inclined angle greater than 10º. This is because babies can suffocate to death if they flip over or roll onto their side and get their face trapped against the fabric material of the swing.
The problem is that Jool Baby advertised the Nova Baby Swings for sleep. The product did not include mandatory warning labels against allowing babies to sleep in the swing. The swings also had sleep-themed stuffed toys, such as a moon and a star, suggesting that the product could be used for sleeping infants.
Baby swings are not allowed to be advertised for sleep if they have an inclined angle greater than 10º, under the federal CPSC Infant Sleep Products Regulation and the Safe Sleep for Babies Act.
Was My Baby Swing Recalled?
Jool Baby recalled all Jool Nova Baby Swings that were manufactured between June 2022 and September 2023. Parents and caregivers should check the manufacturing date on the sewn-in warning label on the swing seat.
If your baby swing is part of the recall, you can register for a free repair kit at the recall website: https://joolbaby.com/pages/recall.
What Should I Do?
Never allow a baby to sleep in a baby swing. According to Jool Baby, parents may continue to use the swing to keep a baby entertained and engaged, but only if the baby is always supervised.
“However, if your baby falls asleep while in the swing, remove baby and place on a firm, flat surface such as a crib or bassinet. Using the Nova Swing or any product with an angle above 10 degrees is not safe for sleep.”
