WASHINGTON, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Omzer infant swings because the swings were marketed for infant sleep and have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees in violation of the Safe Sleep for Babies Act, posing a suffocation hazard. The swings also fail to meet mandatory requirements for warnings under the infant swing standard.

In addition, the swings violate the mandatory federal regulation for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries. The remote controls for the swings contain a lithium coin battery and the products do not bear the warning labels required under Reese's Law. If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed by children, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns and death.

CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Guangzhou Qidian Information Technology Co. Ltd., of China, doing business as Omzerus. Omzerus has not agreed to recall these infant swings or offer a remedy to consumers.

About 1,075 infant swings were sold online at Amazon.com from March 2024 through March 2025 for between $64 and $200. The infant swings are labeled with "Baby Swing for Infants" and "Product Model: OMZ-BS01." The label is located on the bottom of the seat of the swing.

These products were manufactured in China.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the infant swings immediately and dispose of them. Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. The battery in the remotes should be disposed of or recycled following local hazardous waste procedures. Do not sell or give away these hazardous infant swings.

Parents and caregivers are reminded: 

  • The best place for an infant to sleep is on a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet or play yard. 
  • Use a fitted sheet only and never add blankets, pillows, padded crib bumpers, or other items to an infant's sleeping environment. 
  • Infants should always be placed to sleep on their back. Infants who fall asleep in an inclined or upright position should be moved to a safe sleep environment with a firm, flat surface such as a crib, bassinet or play yard.
