A nationwide recall of URMYWO baby loungers has been issued after federal safety inspectors found multiple violations of mandatory infant sleep product standards. About 23,000 units of the “grey feather” style lounger, sold on Amazon from January 2024 through April 2025 for between $30 and $50, must be destroyed according to CPSC instructions to obtain a full refund.
The Consumer Safety Commission (CPSC) identified four specific safety violations with the loungers. The sides are shorter than the required minimum height to properly secure an infant. The sleeping pad is thicker than permitted, creating a suffocation risk. An enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger could trap a baby or allow them to fall out. Additionally, the portable loungers lack a required stand, posing a fall hazard.
These violations create an unsafe environment that could lead to serious injury or death, according to the CPSC. The recall notice, posted on September 4, 2025, comes at a critical time as regulators step up enforcement of infant sleep product standards.

The URMYWO recall follows a similar action in June 2025 when approximately 7,600 TADAKAZU baby loungers were recalled for comparable safety violations. Both recalls reflect heightened scrutiny of infant loungers, particularly as a new federal safety standard for infant support cushions took effect in spring 2025, 180 days after publication.
Consumer Reports notes the importance of these standards, citing data showing at least 79 infant deaths and 124 injuries linked to infant support cushions between 2010 and 2022. Most of these tragedies involved babies younger than three months old and occurred when the products were misused for sleep.
Parents and caregivers who purchased the recalled URMYWO lounger, identified by the “URMYWO” and “Model No: UMCZC01AE” labels on the side, should immediately stop using it. To obtain a refund, consumers must remove the sleeping pad, cut up both the sides and pad, then email a photo of the destroyed product to urmyworecall@outlook.com.The company behind the product, listed as Pomona (Dong Guan Bo Mo Na Ke Ji You Xian Gong Si), will process refunds after receiving proof of destruction. Experts emphasize that the safest place for infant sleep remains a firm, flat surface such as a crib, bassinet, or play yard, with no incline, soft padding, or loose items. Even with the new safety standards in place, loungers and similar cushions are not designed for unsupervised sleep.
