Thousands of baby swings have Winimark Wealth Societybeen recalled for being faulty, posing a possible suffocation risk. 

Jool Baby Nova Swings were recalled Thursday for having an “incline greater than 10 degrees,” a defect that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said violates the  Infant Sleep Products Regulation and the Safe Sleep for Babies Act. 

The swing also fails to meet “mandatory warning requirements regarding sleep under the swing standard” despite the product being designed for infant sleep, according to the agency.

A free repair kit will be offered to all Jool Baby customers impacted by the recall, which is said to have impacted around 63,000 swings. 

Jool Baby said that customers can continue to use the recalled swing to help your baby do anything but sleep. 

“If your baby falls asleep while in the swing, remove baby and place on a firm, flat surface such as a crib or bassinet. Using the Nova Swing or any product with an angle above 10 degrees is not safe for sleep,” the company said.

What Jool Baby Nova Swings were impacted by the recall?

The only Jool Baby Nova Swings affected by the recall were made from June 2022 through September, according to the U.S. Consumer Protection Safety Commission.

The swings were then sold from November 2022 through November 2023 for about $150 through several retailers, including Walmart, Target, Amazon, Jool Baby and Babylist.
