Quick answer: The CPSC recalled about 4,008 AMASKY C-shaped nursing pillows (sold on Amazon.com January–March 2026 for $24–$30 by Pretty-Life) on July 2, 2026, because they can obstruct an infant’s breathing and violate mandatory nursing pillow and infant support cushion standards — cut the pillow in half and email a photo to amasky@126.com for a refund. The same day, CPSC recalled VEVOR baby loungers (sold on VEVOR.com, Amazon, and Wayfair) for entrapment and fall hazards. Separately, CPSC is warning parents to immediately stop using Fasando-branded baby loungers (sold on Amazon.com) after a two-month-old died in one placed to sleep on an adult bed — Fasando has refused to recall the product or offer any remedy. If you own an AMASKY pillow, a VEVOR lounger, or anything Fasando-branded, stop using it now; details for each are below.
Why this matters right now
CPSC has flagged about a dozen infant and children’s products in recent weeks for suffocation, choking, battery ingestion, and fall hazards — and three of the newest actions involve products used almost exclusively with newborns: a nursing pillow and two baby loungers. That’s a different age band than most recent recall coverage, which has focused on mobile walkers and toddler gear. Nursing pillows and loungers are things a lot of parents reach for constantly in the first weeks postpartum, often as gifts or “must-have” registry items recommended in mom groups — which is exactly why a defect in this category reaches so many households so fast.
The Fasando case is also a meaningfully different kind of story than a typical recall: CPSC confirmed an infant death connected to the product, and the company has refused to recall it or offer consumers any remedy at all. That combination — a confirmed fatality and a company that won’t act — is rare, and it’s why this one deserves more attention than a routine “some units may have a defect” notice.
1. AMASKY nursing pillows — suffocation hazard (recalled July 2, 2026)
What’s affected: C-shaped nursing pillows sold in white with a crocodile pattern and other colors/patterns, marked “Brand: AMASKY,” with model numbers BXP99/BXP93/BXP94/BXP96/BXP97 and batch number 202506001 printed on an attached label. Sold on Amazon.com by Pretty-Life (Xishentang Dongguan Trading Co.) from January through March 2026, for $24–$30. About 4,008 units are affected.
The hazard: The pillows were advertised for infant feeding and tummy time but don’t meet the mandatory federal safety standards for nursing pillows and infant support cushions — meaning they can obstruct a baby’s breathing, posing a suffocation risk. No injuries have been reported so far.
What to do: Stop using the pillow immediately. Cut it in half, photograph the destroyed pillow, and email the photo to amasky@126.com, or call Pretty-Life toll-free at 888-820-0881, to receive a full refund.
2. VEVOR baby loungers — entrapment and fall hazard (recalled July 2, 2026)
What’s affected: Foam baby loungers with padded bumpers, a cloth cover, and a ribbon tie, sold in snow deer, good night, forest friends (oval), forest friends (backpack), and green prints, with “VEVOR” printed on an outer tag. Sold on VEVOR.com, Amazon.com, and Wayfair.com from November 2024 through January 2026 for about $30. About 237 units are affected.
The hazard: Like other recalled loungers this year, the sides are too low to contain an infant and the foot openings are wider than the federal infant-sleep-product standard allows, creating fall and entrapment risks. The lounger also has no stand, adding a fall hazard if it’s used on an elevated surface like a bed or changing table. No injuries have been reported.
What to do: Stop using the lounger immediately. Remove the foam and pad from the cover, cut the cover, foam, and pad in half, and email photos of the destroyed pieces to recalling@vevor.com to receive a full refund. Vevor can also be reached toll-free at 855-599-6320 (9 a.m.–5 p.m. PT, Monday–Friday).
3. Fasando baby loungers — fall and entrapment hazard, infant death reported (CPSC warning)
What’s affected: Foam baby loungers with padded bumpers and a cloth cover, closed with snaps and a ribbon tie, in grey elephant, baby blue animals, blue animals, gold elephant, pink lion, and yellow elephant prints. “Fasando” is printed on a bright blue label on the outside of the cover. Sold exclusively by Fasando on Amazon.com from August 2024 through July 2025 for about $35; roughly 6,200 units were sold.
The hazard: The same core defect as the VEVOR and other recalled loungers — sides too low to contain an infant, foot openings too wide, no stand — but this one comes with a confirmed incident: CPSC says a two-month-old was found unresponsive after being placed to sleep in a Fasando lounger on top of an adult bed, and the infant died.
What to do: This is a CPSC public safety warning, not a recall, because Fasando has not agreed to recall the product or offer consumers any remedy — no refund is available. CPSC’s guidance is to stop using it immediately, remove the foam padding, cut the cover in half, and dispose of both. Do not sell, donate, or give it away.
The pattern underneath all three: nothing that isn’t a crib, bassinet, or play yard is a sleep product
Nursing pillows and loungers keep showing up in these actions because they’re marketed for feeding, tummy time, or “cozy lounging” — but parents also use them for naps, and the products aren’t built to the much stricter federal standard that applies to anything a baby actually sleeps in. CPSC’s own guidance after the Fasando warning is worth repeating in full: the only safe place for an infant to sleep is a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet, or play yard, with a fitted sheet and nothing else — no pillows, no padded bumpers, no loungers, no nursing pillows. If a baby falls asleep in a lounger, a nursing pillow, a swing, or anywhere inclined or upright, move them to that kind of firm, flat sleep space rather than leaving them where they drifted off.
How to check if something in your house is recalled
- Search the brand name plus “recall” and the current year, or check CPSC.gov/Recalls directly — it’s searchable by category and updated as new actions post.
- Understand the difference between a recall and a warning: in a recall, the company has agreed to a refund or repair; in a warning, like Fasando’s, the company hasn’t agreed to anything, and there’s no remedy to claim — only a product to stop using.
- If you were gifted a nursing pillow or lounger, or bought one secondhand, check it against current notices too — several of these were sold within the last year, not years ago.
- Sign up for CPSC email alerts and report any product problem at SaferProducts.gov, which is how many of these actions start.

Safer alternatives for feeding and lounging time
- A firm, flat crib, bassinet, or play yard for any and all sleep time — never a lounger, nursing pillow, nest, or napper, regardless of how it’s marketed.
- Established nursing-pillow brands with a firm, flat design rated for feeding support only (not sleep), and only ever used while you’re awake and supervising.
- A registry/gear-safety check before baby items go into daily use — especially for anything gifted, secondhand, or bought from a marketplace seller you don’t recognize.
That safety-check habit is part of what’s included in parentiol’s New Parent Starter Bundle, which has a printable registry and gear-safety checklist to sense-check big newborn purchases — including nursing pillows and loungers — before they’re used unsupervised.
The bottom line
Three separate CPSC actions this month affect newborn feeding and lounging gear: AMASKY nursing pillows recalled for a suffocation hazard, VEVOR baby loungers recalled for entrapment and fall hazards, and a Fasando baby lounger warning issued after a two-month-old died in one on an adult bed — with no recall or refund, because the company won’t act. None of these are sleep products, recalled or not: the only safe place for a baby to sleep is a firm, flat crib, bassinet, or play yard with nothing else in it.
