February 19, 2026 — An incident report details serious safety concerns regarding a LAREX baby swing purchased from Amazon, after a 4-month-old infant reportedly sustained multiple scratches and a visible scar due to sharp edges and rough Velcro material within the product. The incident highlights potential manufacturing defects that pose a significant injury risk to infants.
Product Details
Incident Overview
The consumer reported purchasing the LAREX baby swing from Amazon and using it for their 4-month-old baby. After initial uses, the parents observed unexplained scratches and small scar marks on their infant. The source of these minor injuries was not immediately identified, and the product was not initially suspected.
On February 1, 2026, during another use, the baby sustained a more severe injury to her leg, including a larger scratch and a noticeable scar. This prompted a close inspection of the baby swing, revealing sharp edges and rough Velcro material located near the buckle and belt assembly. These hazardous components were identified as the probable cause of the repeated injuries.
The consumer expressed extreme concern, emphasizing that a product designed for infant use should be free from any sharp or dangerous edges that could cause harm. The incident was reported to prevent similar injuries to other children. The reporter stated that photos of both the baby’s injuries and the defective areas of the product are available.
Safety Concerns
The reported incident with the LAREX baby swing raises critical safety concerns for infants:
- Immediate Dangers: The presence of sharp edges and rough Velcro material directly within areas that come into contact with an infant, such as near the buckle and belt, presents an immediate risk of cuts, scratches, and abrasions. For a baby with delicate skin, even minor sharp points can cause injury.
- Long-Term Risks: Repeated skin irritations or deeper scratches could potentially lead to infections if not properly treated. While not reported, potential for more severe lacerations or eye injuries could exist if other sharp components are present or if an infant’s movements bring other sensitive areas into contact with these defects. Scarring, as noted in the incident, is a long-term cosmetic and physical consequence.
- Who Might Be Affected: This defect specifically endangers infants and young babies who use the swing. Their inability to communicate discomfort or protect themselves from sharp objects makes them particularly vulnerable. All infants using this specific model of baby swing could be at risk.
- Property Damage Potential: There is no indication of property damage potential related to this specific defect; the primary risk is physical injury to the infant.
What Consumers Should Do
Consumers who own a LAREX baby swing, especially model B0D9XSB5ZQ, should take immediate action:
1. Stop Use Immediately: Discontinue use of the baby swing at once. Do not place an infant in the product until it has been thoroughly inspected.
2. Inspect the Product: Carefully examine the swing, paying close attention to the buckle, belt, and harness areas. Feel for any sharp edges, rough material, or protruding components that could come into contact with a baby’s skin.
3. Seek Medical Attention: If your child has sustained any injuries while using this product, consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.
4. Report Incidents: If you have experienced a similar issue or have identified a potential hazard, report the incident to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.saferproducts.gov. This helps authorities identify and address widespread safety issues.
5. Retain Product and Documentation: Keep the product, any packaging, and proof of purchase. Take detailed photos of any defects and injuries, as this evidence may be crucial for reports or future actions.
6. Contact the Retailer/Manufacturer: Reach out to Amazon or SHENZHEN ANXIAO TECHNOLOGYCO., LTD. LAREX to report the defect and inquire about a refund, replacement, or recall information.
