Belivium Baby Lounger Recall Lawsuit | 2025 Latest Updates

What’s the Problem?

In October 2025, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recalled Belivium baby loungers after it was determined that the product violated mandatory federal safety standards for infant sleep products.

The recalled loungers have side walls that are lower than required, pads that are too thick, and foot openings that exceed safe dimensions, creating serious risks of suffocation, entrapment, and falls. The recall highlights the inherent danger these loungers pose when used as an infant sleep surface.

Although no injuries have been publicly reported at this time, the defect is significant, and advocacy groups and attorneys are investigating claims involving suffocation, airflow restriction, infant movement constraints, or bodily harm caused by use of the recalled product.

Latest Recall & Legal Updates

• October 16, 2025 – CPSC issues the recall of Belivium baby loungers for suffocation and entrapment hazards, citing violations of the mandatory standard for infant sleep products [1]
• Post-recall 2025 – Consumer alerts emphasize immediate discontinuation of use; Belivium instructs customers to destroy the lounger pad and sides before claiming a full refund [1]

Recall & Product Details

The recall covers approximately 280 units of Belivium baby loungers sold on Amazon between November 2024 and August 2025, priced between $25 and $50. The loungers come in designs including “yellow zoo animal,” “blue dinosaur,” “blue & grey star,” “colorful elephant,” “pink butterfly,” and more.

They use a foam sleeping pad and padded bumpers covered by cloth, and the label “BABY NEST” is printed inside the cover. Affected units are distributed by Shenzhenshiyingjiayueshangmaoyouxiangongsi, doing business as Belivium, based in China.

Consumers are instructed to stop use immediately, remove the sleeping pad, cut up the sides and pad, and submit photos of the destroyed unit to BeliviumRecall@163.com to receive a full refund.

Hazards & Injury Risks

The design violations in the recalled lounger create multiple hazards:

• Suffocation – due to the pad being too thick and the side walls being too low, limiting protective boundaries
• Entrapment – foot area openings are wider than allowed, potentially trapping limbs or torso
• Fall hazard – the lounger has no stand, increasing risk of falling off surfaces
• Unsafe sleep environment – infants can roll or shift into unsupported zones lacking protective boundaries

These defects significantly raise the risk of injury or death when infants are placed to sleep in these loungers.

Do You Qualify for a Baby Lounger Lawsuit?

You may qualify if:

• You purchased a Belivium baby lounger matching the recall description
• An infant under your care used the lounger and was exposed to potential risk or harm
• Medical evaluation, respiratory distress, or adverse outcomes occurred that may be associated with the lounger use
• You have proof of purchase, photographs of the product, packaging, or recall documentation

Evidence Required

To support a claim, important evidence includes:

• Medical records, examination reports, or documentation of respiratory distress or injury
• Photographs of the lounger, identifying labels, and damage condition
• Proof of purchase or transaction history from Amazon or other sources
• Recall announcement and manufacturer communications confirming defect and refund options
• Affidavits or statements from caregivers or witnesses about the incident and usage conditions

Damages You Can Recover

Possible recoverable items include:

• Medical costs for evaluation, monitoring, or treatment
• Hospital or emergency care costs if injury occurred
• Emotional distress and compensation for pain and suffering
• Replacement costs or refund of the lounger purchase
• Punitive damages if the manufacturer knowingly violated safety standards or misrepresented risk

Liability & Legal Theory

Claims may assert:

• Defective product design – the lounger design fails to meet required safety limits
• Failure to warn – inadequate instructions or risk disclosure to consumers
• Negligence – in design, testing, quality control, or distribution of the product
• Strict liability – placing a product into the marketplace that fails to meet mandatory safety standards

Because the lounger violates a federal safety standard, plaintiffs may argue that liability is clear under strict liability or regulatory causation theories.

Statute of Limitations & Legal Deadlines

Time limits vary by state, typically one to three years from harm or discovery. Because infant injuries may not become evident immediately, some jurisdictions may apply the “discovery rule” to extend time. Acting promptly is critical to preserve evidence and ensure eligibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
