Jool Baby has recalled more than 63,000 Nova Baby swings for infants after regulators said they posed a choking hazard.
On Thursday, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recalled the product, writing that the swings pose a suffocation risk because they have an angle of inclination greater than 10 degrees and are advertised, intended or designed for infants to sleep. The product violates the CPSC Regulation on Infant Sleep Products and the Safe Sleep for Babies Act.
The CPSC also noted that the swing did not meet the mandatory sleep warning requirements required under the swing standard.

The products, which were manufactured from June 2022 to September 2023, are approximately 28 inches long, 19 inches wide and 24 inches high. They can be powered by AAA batteries or an AC adapter and come with an electronic remote control.
According to the CPSC, users should stop using the sleep swings immediately and contact Jool Baby to receive a free repair kit by submitting a photo of the warning label to the company’s online registration page. The repair kit will include a new seat with updated product warnings, plush toys and a remote control.

So far, there are no reports of injuries.
“You can continue to use the Nova Swing to keep your baby entertained and engaged,” reads the recall message on the Jool Baby website. “However, if your baby falls asleep while in the swing, remove the baby and place him on a firm, flat surface such as a crib or bassinet.
“Using the Nova Swing or any other product at an angle above 10 degrees is not safe for sleeping.”
In the same message, Jool Baby says that repair kits will ship in 2-4 weeks.
