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 recalled product violates a mandatory federal safety standard for a high-risk product (infant sling carrier) and poses identified hazards (suffocation and fall) that could result in serious injury or death. Although no injuries have been reported, the hazard is concrete and the product is designed for vulnerable infants, meeting the rubric criterion for High severity.
Plain-English summary
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has recalled approximately 1,160 Joybuy Marketplace Express sling carriers designed to be worn by adults to carry infants. These carriers were sold online at Walmart.com from September 2020 through April 2023, priced between $15 and $21.
The recalled sling carriers violate the federal Safety Standard for Sling Carriers. Specifically, they fail to meet requirements for structural integrity and occupant retention, posing a fall hazard to babies. The carriers also pose a suffocation hazard because the waist restraint can be used without the crotch restraint, contrary to federal safety standard requirements. Additionally, the products lack warnings or instructional literature to guide caregivers on keeping an infant's face clear to prevent suffocation or on safe positioning to prevent the baby from curling into a position with their chin resting on or near their chest.
The recalled sling carriers were distributed by multiple suppliers in China through JD E Commerce America Limited (dba Joybuy Marketplace Express) in Irvine, California. The products were sold under various brand names on Walmart.com, including Wisremt, Sunisery, Multitrust, Inevnen, Farrubbyine8, Jolly's, and Tinkercad. The exterior is solid navy fabric, while interior colors and patterns vary. No injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled sling carriers and contact Joybuy Marketplace Express for disposal instructions and a full refund. Joybuy Marketplace Express and Walmart are notifying known purchasers directly.
