Jool Baby is recalling about 650 Nova infant swings because they have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees and were designed for infant sleep, violating federal safety regulations. The swings also lack required warning labels about sleep safety.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states "None reported" for injuries, meaning no illnesses or harm has occurred. However, the hazard is not theoretical—the swings are marketed for infant sleep with an incline exceeding safety limits, creating a real risk of harm. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported score 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

Jool Products LLC, doing business as Jool Baby of Lakewood, New Jersey, is recalling about 650 Nova Baby infant swings. The swings are gray, measuring approximately 28 inches long, 19 inches wide, and 24 inches high, with a round aluminum base, metal seat frame, cloth seat with restraints, headrest, and canopy with hanging toys. They were manufactured from June 2022 through September 2023 and sold from November 2022 through November 2023 for about $150.

The swings pose a suffocation risk because they were marketed, intended, or designed for infant sleep while having an incline angle greater than 10 degrees, which violates the CPSC's 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.

The recalled swings were sold at Walmart stores and online at www.JoolBaby.com, www.amazon.com, www.babylist.com, www.target.com, www.walmart.com, and other websites. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled swings for sleep and contact Jool Baby to receive a free repair kit that includes a new seat with updated warnings, updated plush toys, and an updated remote control. To register, consumers should upload a photo of the warning label to www.JoolBaby.com/recall.
