Ingenuity Recall List: Rocking Sleeper Models and Refund Guide

Which Ingenuity products does the rocking sleeper recall cover?

CPSC's April 26, 2019 recall, number 19-112, covered all models of Kids II Rocking Sleepers, approximately 694,000 units. The announcement included an extensive style-number table with Ingenuity, Bright Starts and other product names. The scope is defined by that product family and its listed models, rather than by one fabric pattern pictured in a news story.

The agency reannounced the recall on January 9, 2023, under number 23-089. That was a reminder concerning the approximately 694,000 previously recalled sleepers, not a second group of another 694,000 units. The continued instruction is to stop using the rocking sleeper and contact Kids2 for a refund.

The 2023 notice reported 15 infant fatalities associated with the sleepers, including four reported after the original recall. It also records Kids2's qualification that some incident circumstances or product identifications could not be confirmed. Those figures belong to the January 2023 notice; they should not be presented as a newly calculated October 2026 total.

For a household check, separate three questions. First, is the item a Kids2 Rocking Sleeper from the affected family? Second, what model is printed on its identification label? Third, which official instructions apply to that item? A broad search for “Ingenuity recall” can mix this historical sleeper recall with unrelated products, retailer pages and other brands. The table below narrows the model lookup without attempting to turn a brand name into a safety verdict.

If the sleeper has been stored away, a new baby in the family is a reason to check it before bringing it back into use. Its age, apparent condition or previous use without an incident does not cancel an official recall. Share the exact notice with anyone who has the item, including relatives or caregivers, so that the recall instruction follows the physical product.

Ingenuity rocking sleeper model numbers to check

These are the entries explicitly named Ingenuity in Kids2's official United States model table. They are a convenient subset for the brand search, not the full list of every recalled Kids2 sleeper. Use the printed model number when comparing a household item, particularly where two products share the same fabric name.

Dayton appears under 10292 and 11357. Do not stop after finding the first familiar name or assume that one of the two numbers is a typographical error. Copy the actual number on your seat-pad label and compare it with the official listing. The style number is more useful for a claim than a remembered store title such as “automatic baby rocker.”

The full Kids2 table also includes products described as DreamComfort, Automatic Rock 'n Soothe, Bright Starts, Taggies and Disney Baby/Bright Starts. A sleeper missing from this Ingenuity-named subset may therefore still be included in the recall. For example, the label photograph later in this guide shows model 10888, which appears in the complete official list as a DreamComfort sleeper rather than an Ingenuity-prefixed row here.

The original CPSC scope also includes cloth component parts of the listed models. Replacing the seat pad, changing the cover or removing an accessory should not be treated as a recall repair. If a frame and fabric have been mixed between products or the label no longer corresponds clearly to the assembled unit, explain that to Kids2 rather than deciding that the new appearance resolves the identification.

Keep the table and the official source together when sharing a result with another caregiver. A screenshot containing only a familiar pattern can lose the model number and scope qualification. A photograph of the actual label, paired with the official model-page link, gives the person holding the sleeper a more reliable starting point.

Where to find the model and manufacturing date code

Kids2's sleeper instructions identify the smallest sew-in label attached to the seat pad as the place to find both the model number and manufacturing date code. Those are separate pieces of information. Keep both, rather than copying whichever five-digit line is easier to read and calling it the product model.

A remembered purchase year or retailer description may help explain the history of an item, but the physical label connects your inquiry to the actual product. Inspect it while the sleeper is empty and out of use. If the padding has been replaced or the product contains mixed components, include that fact when asking Kids2 to identify it.

Photograph the smallest sew-in label on the seat pad

The official example above shows model 10888 and a different number beneath it for the manufacturing date code. It illustrates where and how to read the fields; it is not the label from the Cuddle Giraffe model shown on this article's cover. Do not copy an example value into a claim concerning another sleeper.

Take a clear close-up of the identification and another photograph showing which item the label belongs to. Keep the original photographs so that details remain available if a web form reduces the image size. Record the full model and date code without adding your own interpretation of the date format. This recall covers all models in the affected sleeper family; the example date code does not create a separate cutoff that excludes other dates.

Ask Kids2 about missing or unreadable identification

If the tag is missing or partly unreadable, use the Kids2 identification guide and explain the remaining uncertainty to Consumer Services. Supply the accessible photographs, product description and any original purchase information. A similar pattern in a photograph can support an inquiry, but it should not be presented as a confirmed model number.

The official sleeper model page lists [email protected] and 866-869-7954 for assistance. Ask what evidence Kids2 needs when the label is incomplete. Do not assume that a missing receipt or tag automatically proves either eligibility or ineligibility, and do not put a suspected matching recalled sleeper back into use simply because the identification question takes time to resolve.

How to request the Kids2 sleeper recall refund

Use the dedicated Kids2 sleeper recall registration page or contact the recall team through the number in the official notice, 866-869-7954. Explain that your inquiry concerns the Kids2 Rocking Sleeper recall. The broader website also has ordinary product registration and warranty pages; enrolling for future safety alerts is not the same as applying for this recall remedy.

Have the actual model, manufacturing date code and photographs available before beginning. Keep a copy of what you submit and any confirmation you receive. If the embedded form does not load or you cannot supply a required identifier, ask Consumer Services how to complete the application rather than using another product's details.

Kids2's published virtual-return instructions describe disabling the registered sleeper's fabric, including separating the fabric seat pad from the frame, cutting the fabric into two pieces and marking it with “Virtual Return” and the date. They ask for photographs of the disabled product, the consumer's full name and the small model/date-code tag, sent to [email protected]. Read the current instructions after registration and resolve identification questions before taking irreversible steps.

That confirmation page says the reimbursement email follows within 10 business days after the photographs are approved. It does not say that funds arrive within 10 days of first finding the recall or submitting an incomplete form. Keep submission, photograph approval and reimbursement communication as separate milestones, and ask the company to clarify any outstanding stage.

Keep the product record even if you were not the original buyer

A sleeper may have been received as a gift, lent between relatives or bought secondhand. Preserve the identification available to you and explain that history honestly. Ask the original buyer for a receipt or model information when feasible, but ask Kids2 what it needs for your particular case instead of assuming every missing-record situation has the same answer.

Before sending photographs or disabling an item, confirm that the instructions belong to this rocking sleeper program. Kids2's broader recall hub contains other products with different procedures. A refund amount, voucher rule or return address copied from a different sleeper notice should not be applied to your model without confirmation.

If you have contacted Kids2 and a remedy issue remains unresolved after allowing a response, retain the chronology and use the CPSC Recall Complaint Form to explain the problem. That form concerns difficulties with a recall; it is not a substitute for first registering with the company or a guarantee of a different payment.

Why an old recall PDF needs a current-notice check

A PDF can be useful for printing a model table or sharing an announcement with a caregiver. It is also a fixed copy of information from a particular time. A document reproducing the 2019 notice may not include the 2023 reannouncement or the current route for contacting the company. Check the original publication date and compare its instructions with the live agency and manufacturer pages.

For a United States model check, use the official Kids2 US model page linked above. The Kids2 recall hub separately identifies the original announcement and reannouncement and provides different country references. A model list for Australia or New Zealand should not silently be substituted for the United States list, even when several product names overlap.

If you print or save a page for a grandparent, childcare provider or household file, include enough context to preserve what was checked:

• The actual product model and manufacturing date code from its label.
• The full official notice title, date and recall number.
• The official model-page address and the date you consulted it.
• The recall contact and the next step already completed or still outstanding.
• A note that the sleeper remains out of use while the remedy is being arranged.

This is an organizational aid, not an additional claim requirement. Reopen the live official notice when you are ready to act, particularly if the printed sheet has been stored for months. A recent search result, a newly uploaded PDF or a social-media repost does not by itself mean that a new recall was announced in 2026. Conversely, an older announcement date does not erase the instruction concerning a product that remains in a home.

What caregivers should do with secondhand sleep products

Check stored or secondhand gear before it becomes part of a new baby's routine. The original owner may remember only the fabric name, and a listing may describe a recalled sleeper as a generic rocker. Ask for the actual label photograph and compare it with the official model list before accepting the description as accurate.

CPSC's 2023 reannouncement expressly says that selling or distributing the recalled sleepers is illegal. Do not solve a household storage problem by offering the sleeper free to another family, donating it or passing it to a younger relative. Keep it out of use and follow Kids2's recall process. If another caregiver already has the item, send that person the exact model information and official notice so the instruction reaches the current holder.

Use an appropriate infant sleep space

CPSC's Safe Sleep guidance calls for a firm, flat sleep surface in an appropriate crib, bassinet, play yard or bedside sleeper that meets federal requirements. Place the baby on their back and keep the space bare, with only a fitted sheet. If the baby falls asleep elsewhere, move them to the appropriate sleep space.

Supervision, fastening restraints, adding a cushion or changing the angle should not be presented as a repair for a recalled rocking sleeper. The recall's stop-use instruction remains the relevant product action. If you need help selecting or setting up an appropriate sleep environment, use the agency's guidance and the instructions for the actual sleep product rather than adapting the recalled item.

Check other Ingenuity products by their own model

For a different Ingenuity product, begin a separate identification check. Record whether it is a bassinet, bouncer, swing, seat or another product type, then gather its model and available date code. Use CPSC's recall search and the manufacturer recall hub to find a notice that actually describes that item. Our baby product recall guide explains the broader lookup process.

A product outside the rocking sleeper recall is not automatically certified safe by that absence. It still needs its own instructions, intended-use check and current recall search. Likewise, general guidance about where babies should sleep does not establish that an unrelated product qualifies for this sleeper refund. Keep the questions separate so the right safety action and remedy follow the correct model.

For a family or childcare handoff, leave a short written record of the product checked, the result and the responsible next contact. Include any unresolved identification issue instead of writing simply “recall checked.” That small amount of precision helps another adult understand whether an item has a confirmed recall match, is awaiting company identification or needs an entirely separate product search.
