Babies sleep the safest on their back, and on a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet, or play yard that meets federal safety standards.has long advised caregivers to avoid soft and plush sleep surfaces, such as the DockATot, due to the risk of suffocation. The products are often not marketed as sleepers, but it’s common for babies to fall asleep while using them.
Companies by law have to report an unsafe product to the CPSC, which is how many recalls typically begin, the agency notes on its website. Other recalls happen after the CPSC receives several consumer or media reports about a product, and the agency then works with the company to issue the recall.
