CPSC Warns Parents to Destroy Aila+Aiden Baby Loungers: No Refund, Company Out of Business

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a warning telling consumers to immediately stop using the Aila+Aiden Baby Lounger — and in a development that will frustrate many families who purchased it, the company that made the product is out of business. There are no refunds available. The CPSC says the product must be destroyed.

If you have this lounger in your home — sold on Amazon and through other third-party sellers from December 2023 through June 2026 for approximately $46 — here is what the CPSC wants you to do: remove the foam padding, cut the cover in half, and throw it away. Do not sell it. Do not donate it. Destroy it.

How to Identify the Product

The product label reads "Aila+Aiden," "Baby Lounger," and "Model No: Nest1," printed on a tag stitched to the outside of the lounger's cover. If you are unsure whether your lounger matches, the CPSC notes that the product may have been sold in colors and prints that do not appear in the official agency photographs — so check the label directly rather than matching by appearance alone.

Why the CPSC Issued the Warning

The Aila+Aiden Baby Lounger violates the mandatory federal safety standard for infant sleep products in multiple ways. The sides are too low to safely contain an infant. The openings at the foot of the lounger are wider than federal standards allow. The lounger also has no stand, which creates a fall hazard when placed on elevated surfaces.

Together, these design failures create serious fall and entrapment hazards for infants. The CPSC's warning does not specify whether any incidents or injuries have been reported, but the agency's guidance — destroy the product immediately — leaves no ambiguity about the level of concern.

No Refund Is Available

This is the part of this story that requires emphasis. The typical path when a product is recalled is a refund, a replacement, or a repair. That path does not exist here. Aila+Aiden is out of business. There is no mechanism for getting money back. The CPSC cannot compel a company that no longer exists to provide refunds.

If you purchased through Amazon, you may have options through Amazon's A-to-z Guarantee depending on when the purchase was made and whether your payment method has dispute options available. But the CPSC itself has no refund remedy to offer, and the company will not be fulfilling any requests.

What's Next

If you have an Aila+Aiden Baby Lounger with Model No: Nest1 label, stop using it today. Remove the foam padding, cut the cover in half, and dispose of the product.

Colorado Springs families who spot this product for sale secondhand — at garage sales, on Facebook Marketplace, or similar — are encouraged to share this information with the seller so the product can be taken off the market.
