CaTeam Canvas Baby Hammock Swings Recalled for Suffocation Hazard

CaTeam is recalling about 700 Canvas Baby Hammock Swings sold online from November 2022 through January 2023 because they violate the Safe Sleep for Babies Act. The inclined design poses a suffocation risk to infants.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that "infant fatalities have occurred in inclined sleepers" under similar circumstances. Per the severity rubric, the presence of reported deaths anywhere in the source text results in a Critical (5) rating regardless of other factors.

Plain-English summary

CaTeam, of Oak Harbor, Washington, is recalling approximately 700 Canvas Baby Hammock Swings. The swings are made of wood and cloth with adjustable height settings and were sold in eight colors: ivory, taupe gray, gray, dark gray, blue, ochre, green, and pink. They were sold online through the company website cateam.store and Amazon.com between November 2022 and January 2023 for between $70 and $100.

The product is banned under the Safe Sleep for Babies Act because it is marketed for infant sleep and has an incline angle greater than 10 degrees. According to the recall notice, infant fatalities have occurred in inclined sleepers when infants rolled from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained, or under other circumstances. No injuries have been reported with this specific product.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled baby hammock swings. CaTeam and Amazon are contacting all known purchasers.
