: CPSC warns consumers to immediately stop using Ixdregan Infant Swings due to risk of serious injury or death from suffocation hazard; violation of inclined sleepers ban. In addition, the swings fail to meet mandatory warning requirements under the swing standard.

These products create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants and can cause death or serious injury to infants. The swings labeled with model WS-HB18-4 also violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries. If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns, and death.

The infant swings were sold online at Amazon.com and IxDregan.com for between $110 and $140.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the infant swings immediately and dispose of them in accordance with local disposal requirements. Do not sell or give away these hazardous infant swings.

This week’s fire safety theme is Wildfire Preparedness. Every year, wildfires burn across the U.S. and more people are living where wildfires are a risk. But by working together, residents can make their own property – and their neighborhood – much safer from wildfire.
