A new standard will ensure a safe sleeping environment for infants.
The goal is to “eliminate potentially hazardous sleep products in the marketplace that do not currently meet a CPSC mandatory standard for infant sleep, such as inclined sleepers, travel and compact bassinets, and in-bed sleepers, which have been linked to dozens of infant deaths.”
The CSPC is aware of 254 incidents -- 21 fatalities -- related to infant sleep products between January 2019 and December 2020. A number of inclined sleep products, such as the Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play Sleeper and Grace Little Lounger Rocking Seat, have been recalled due to reports of deaths. A design fault in such products has resulted in infants falling out, asphyxiation, respiratory issues and the development of physical deformations, the CPSC said.
The CPSC expects to review federal safety standards for crib bumpers and crib mattresses later this year.
