This settlement resolved claims that two HALO BassiNest Flex bassinet models — Morning Mist and Heather Weave — had a design defect that let the sleep surface tilt. It paid $10 per bassinet without a receipt or $30 with one to anyone in the U.S. who bought either model on or before February 10, 2025, and the claim window closed in June 2025.
Current Status
Claims are closed. Claim forms had to be filed online or postmarked to the settlement administrator by June 10, 2025. The court granted preliminary approval on February 10, 2025 and set the final approval hearing for October 9, 2025. Public reporting indicates the court granted final approval in October 2025 and that the administrator began issuing payments in January 2026; OCA has not been able to read the approval order or an administrator payment announcement directly, so this page reports those two steps as reported rather than confirmed. Claimants should rely on the official settlement website and on correspondence tied to their own submission.

What the Case Was About
HALO Innovations, Inc., now known as HALO Dream, Inc., designs and sells infant sleep products including bassinets and sleep sacks. The class action alleged that two of its BassiNest Flex models had a design defect that allowed the sleep surface to tilt.HALO denied the allegations and agreed to the settlement to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation. The court made no finding that the product was defective, and this was a private class action rather than a government recall proceeding.
Which Products Were Covered?
Two models, and only two:• HALO BassiNest Flex Morning Mist
• HALO BassiNest Flex Heather Weave
Other HALO products — including other BassiNest models and the company's sleep sacks — were not part of this settlement.
Who Was Covered?
The class covered all consumers in the United States, including its territories and tribal reservations, who purchased a HALO BassiNest Flex Morning Mist or a HALO BassiNest Flex Heather Weave on or before February 10, 2025 — the date the court granted preliminary approval.There was no requirement to have experienced the alleged tilting and no injury requirement. Purchase of a covered model within the class period was the qualifying fact.
What the Settlement Paid
HALO funded a $1,500,000 settlement fund. Payment was calculated per class product:• $30 per class product with valid proof of purchase.
• $10 per class product without proof of purchase.
Payments were subject to pro rata adjustment. Because the fund was fixed and the per-product amounts were set, the adjustment worked in claimants' favor when claim volume came in low — a light response could increase what each person received rather than dilute it.
What Proof Was Required?
No documentation was needed to claim the $10 per-product tier, and no administrator-issued claim ID gated the claim form, which is why this page is marked Proof Required: No. Proof of purchase was required only to claim the higher $30 per-product amount.What Happens Next?
There is nothing left for class members to file. The remaining steps in a settlement at this stage are the completion of distribution and the handling of any uncashed checks or residual funds under the terms of the agreement. No further administrator announcement had been located as of July 29, 2026.Parents concerned about an infant sleep product they currently own should check the manufacturer's own recall notices and the Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall listings, which are separate from any class action settlement.
