TADAKAZU Baby Lounger Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

TADAKAZU baby loungers sold on Amazon were recalled on June 18, 2025, after the CPSC said they pose suffocation, fall and entrapment hazards. The CPSC says the loungers violate the federal Infant Sleep Products standard. The recall covers about 7,600 loungers, which were sold exclusively on Amazon from September 2024 through May 2025 for between $12 and $47. Anyone who owns one should stop using it and follow the refund steps in the recall notice. No lawsuit, class action or MDL has been filed over these loungers.

June 18, 2025: CPSC Announces Recall 25-345

The CPSC announced recall 25-345 of about 7,600 baby loungers from TADAKAZU [1]. The recall notice offers a full refund to owners. The CPSC says the sides are shorter than the minimum height limit. It also says an infant could fall out of or become entrapped in an opening at the foot. A court has made no finding on this.

May 5, 2025: Infant Cushion Rule Takes Effect

The CPSC rule setting a mandatory safety standard for infant cushions took effect, according to Federal Register 2024-25181, and it covers infant loungers [2]. The rule covers cushions manufactured after that date. The recall cites the separate Infant Sleep Products standard, so the two are different rules.

November 4, 2024: CPSC Publishes Infant Cushion Rule

The CPSC published its final rule on infant cushions in the Federal Register as 89 FR 87467. The rule sets safety requirements for products that support an infant’s weight while the infant is reclining, such as infant loungers.

What Are Infant Support Cushions?

According to the CPSC, infant support cushions include infant loungers, infant head positioner pillows and infant sleep positioners. They also include anti-rollover pillows, crib pillows, wedge pillows for infants and tummy time pillows [3]. TADAKAZU baby loungers are infant loungers, so this category applies to them. The Federal Register rule describes such products as filled with resilient material such as foam, fibrous batting, or granular material.

Who May Be Affected?

Buyers of a TADAKAZU baby lounger, also advertised as a baby nest, on Amazon from September 2024 through May 2025 may be affected. Prices ran from $12 to $47. The recall covers these models:

• Beige TA-BBL-Beige-NEW
• B-Beige TA-BBL-Beige-new-FBA
• Blue TA-BBL-Blue-NEW
• Blue a TA-BBL-Blue-new-FBA
• Green TA-BBL-Green-NEW
• Zoo TA-BBL-Pink-ZO-0925
• Pumpkin TA-BBL-Beige-0910-PP
• Horse TA-BBL-Green-0910-LM
• Grey-leaf TA-BBL-GREY-YZ
• Pink TA-BBL-Pink-NEW
• Pink a TA-BBL-Pink-new-FBA
• Rabbit TA-BBL-FQQ
• Star TA-BBL-Beige-XX
• Dinosaur TA-BBL-Pink-DS-NEW
• Bear TA-BBL-Pink-0910-FX

Infants placed in a lounger on a bed, sofa or other raised surface face the fall and suffocation risks the CPSC describes. Only an individual legal review can say whether a claim may exist.

Reported Injuries or Damages

The CPSC reports no incidents or injuries for the recalled TADAKAZU loungers. The figures below cover all infant support cushions and are not specific to this brand. The CPSC news release on the infant cushion rule says the agency knows of 79 infant deaths and 124 injuries between 2010 and 2022 associated with infant support cushions. Most injuries and deaths involved infants younger than 3 months old. The majority of the deaths involved the cushion being used in or on a sleep product. Examples include an adult bed, bassinet, crib, play yard, couch, futon or toddler bed. The Federal Register final rule states that more than 80 percent of the known fatalities involve infants three months old or younger. In more than 60 percent, the official cause of death was asphyxia or probable asphyxia.

Recall and Regulatory Background

Under recall 25-345, owners get a full refund after they remove the sleeping pad. They must also cut up the sides of the lounger and the pad. Then they email a photo of the destroyed lounger to TADAKAZU. A recall does not by itself establish liability or show that anyone is eligible for compensation.

Evidence to Preserve

Keep these items if a child may have been hurt in a recalled lounger:

• The lounger itself, unless the recall steps require destroying it, and photos of it taken first, including the TADAKAZU tag and model number.
• The Amazon order confirmation and receipt that show when and where you bought it.
• Photos of the packaging and the area where the child used it.
• Emails with TADAKAZU and Amazon, including the photo you sent for the refund.
• Medical records and notes about any injury to the child.

Store paper and digital copies together, and add dates to your notes as events happen so the timeline stays clear.

Filing Deadlines

State law sets filing deadlines. Your deadline depends on where you live and on when the injury and its cause came to light. A parent who files too late may lose the claim, whatever the facts show. A prompt check with a lawyer matters, so do not wait if a child was hurt.
