On May 15, 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a strong public safety warning regarding Queerick infant swings, urging parents stop using them immediately.
The swings violate multiple federal safety standards and may pose a significant risk of suffocation or death to infants.
The swings were sold online through Amazon.com between October 2023 and November 2024, marketed under model number WS-HB18.
Why are Queerick Infant Swings Dangerous?
The manufacturer behind the product is identified as Power Transform, a company that has not cooperated with regulators to issue a recall or provide any consumer remedies.
The CPSC identified two serious safety issues with the Queerick infant swing:
- Unsafe Sleep Positioning: The product exceeds the 10-degree incline limit for infant sleep products mandated by the Safe Sleep for Babies Act. Excessive incline can cause infants’ heads to fall forward during sleep, significantly increasing the risk of suffocation.
- Battery Hazard with No Required Warnings: The swing’s remote control includes a button-cell battery, which can be deadly if swallowed. However, the product lacks the required safety labeling under Reese’s Law, which is meant to alert caregivers to the dangers posed by such batteries.
Manufacturer Refuses Recall
Despite these critical safety concerns, Power Transform has refused to issue a recall or offer refunds, leaving consumers without guidance or support. This refusal underscores a lack of corporate responsibility and may expose the company to product liability claims.
Under U.S. law, manufacturers and distributors may be held liable for:
- Releasing unsafe or defective products into the market
- Failing to include appropriate safety warnings
- Negligent product design or manufacturing
