What’s the Problem?
On November 20, 2025, the CPSC announced the recall of approximately 300 Bearlala baby loungers after finding that they violate the mandatory federal standard for Infant Sleep Products. [1]
The recall states that the sides of the loungers are too low to safely contain an infant, and the enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger is wider than permitted, creating both fall and entrapment risks. Furthermore, because the loungers lack a stand, they pose a fall hazard if placed on elevated surfaces. [1]
Although no injuries were reported at the time of the recall, the potential for serious harm—including death—was deemed sufficient to trigger immediate regulatory action. [1]
Latest Updates
- November 20, 2025 – CPSC posts Recall No. 26-095 for Bearlala baby loungers, citing entrapment and fall risks and violation of the Infant Sleep Products mandatory standard. [1]
Product & Usage Overview
The recalled Bearlala baby loungers feature a foam sleeping pad, padded bumpers and a cloth cover printed with a light-gray leaf pattern. A label reading “Bearlala” is stitched on the outside of the lounger’s cover. [1]
The loungers were sold online via Walmart.com from August 2025 through October 2025 for approximately $35 to $45. [1]
Because the loungers do not meet the federal standard and lack essential safety barriers or a stable elevated platform, infants placed in them face higher risks of tipping, rolling out, or becoming entrapped in openings while unsupervised.
Injuries & Side Effects
While the recall notice reports that no injuries or deaths were known at the time of announcement, the hazard is significant: infants may fall from the lounger onto another surface, become trapped in oversized openings, or roll into a position that compromises breathing. [1]
Do You Qualify for a Bearlala Baby Lounger Recall Lawsuit?
You may qualify for a claim if you:
- Purchased a Bearlala baby lounger sold online from Walmart.com between August 2025 and October 2025.
- Your child used the baby lounger and experienced a fall, near-fall, entrapment situation or you discontinued use due to concern about safety.
- You retained purchase records (order confirmation, receipt), photographs of the lounger and cover, or proof of refund request under the recall program.
- You are within your state’s statute of limitations for product liability or injury claims.
Evidence You Should Gather
- Photographs of the baby lounger, including the “Bearlala” label and the pattern covering.
- Copy of your Walmart order confirmation or payment record showing purchase date and price.
- Photos of the lounger’s cover, foam pad and full product, especially if you discontinued use or destroyed the product under recall instructions.
- If an incident occurred: medical records, pediatrician notes, photograph of the fall scene or related evidence of entrapment or injury.
Damages You Can Recover
Possible recoverable damages include:
- Medical expenses if your child was injured after using the lounger.
- Costs related to treatment, monitoring or follow-up care for entrapment or fall-related injury.
- Pain and suffering and emotional distress experienced by the family due to a dangerous baby product.
- Replacement and disposal cost of the recalled product, including refund loss or replacement product expense.
Legal Theories & Liability Grounds
Claims may include:
- Defective design: The lounger’s sides are too low and the opening too wide, making entrapment or fall hazards foreseeable.
- Violation of mandatory standard: The product fails to comply with the federal Infant Sleep Products standard, which strengthens the case for liability. [1]
- Failure to warn: The importer may not have provided adequate warnings or safe use instructions given the hazard posed by the lounger’s design.
- Strict product liability: The product entered the market in dangerous condition and caused risk of serious injury regardless of fault.
Statute of Limitations & Timing
Each state sets its own deadline for filing product liability or injury claims, often one to three years from the date of injury or discovery. Because the Bearlala baby lounger recall was announced November 20 2025, consulting an attorney promptly can help preserve proof of purchase, product condition, and any incident documentation.
