A class action lawsuit involving HALO Innovations Inc.’s BassiNest Flex bassinets has resulted in a $1.5 million settlement agreement—offering compensation to eligible consumers across the United States.
The legal dispute centered on two popular models of bassinets: the HALO BassiNest Flex Morning Mist and Heather Weave. The plaintiffs in the case alleged that a design flaw caused the sleep surface to tilt, increasing the risk of infants rolling into unsafe positions—potentially leading to suffocation or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Although HALO Innovations denies any wrongdoing or liability, it agreed to the settlement to resolve the matter without further litigation.
Why the Lawsuit Was Filed
Originally filed in December 2023, the lawsuit argued that the cantilevered design of the HALO BassiNest Flex—where the bassinet is supported only on one side—resulted in an uneven sleeping surface. This reportedly led to instances where infants rolled into the mesh siding, creating a suffocation hazard.
According to consumer complaints and independent safety analysis, the bassinets failed to maintain a flat and stable sleeping area, violating the safe sleep standards recommended by pediatric health experts and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
Who Is Eligible and What You Can Get
You may be eligible for compensation if you purchased either of the following HALO BassiNest Flex models on or before February 10, 2025:

Compensation options:

- Up to $10 per unit without proof of purchase
Final amounts may be adjusted depending on how many people file valid claims.

What Prompted Federal Action
In January 2024, Consumer Reports published an open letter urging the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to investigate the BassiNest Flex models, along with similar products. The watchdog group stated that these bassinets potentially violated federal infant safety standards and could warrant a recall.
