CR also strongly supports the legislation in Congress to ban the manufacture, import, and sale of inclined sleepers altogether. While the proposed ban and legislation have yet to be implemented, several major retailers, including Amazon, Buy Buy Baby, eBay, and Walmart, told CR they pulled all infant inclined sleepers from their stores and websites in December 2019, a move that was applauded by Robert Adler, the acting chairman of the CPSC.Ĭonsumer Reports has called for the CPSC and companies to get all infant inclined sleep products off the market and out of people’s homes. The legislation is currently awaiting a vote in the Senate. And in December 2019, the House of Representatives passed the Safe Sleep for Babies Act-which would ban the manufacture and sale of inclined sleepers and padded crib bumpers. In October 2019, the CPSC warned consumers not to use any infant inclined sleep products and proposed banning all such sleepers from the market. Graco’s recall today is one of a spate of actions that have been taken by manufacturers, consumer advocates, and lawmakers to prevent infant inclined sleepers from harming babies. The organization states that babies should be put to bed on their backs, alone, unrestrained, and on a firm, flat surface that is free of bumpers and other soft bedding. Inclined sleepers run counter to safe sleep recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Additionally, the inclined sleepers make it easier for babies to roll over onto their side or stomach with their face pressed into the sleeper’s fabric, interfering with breathing. The products increase the risk of airway compression, suffocation, and death because they allow babies’ heads to slump forward, blocking airflow, even while lying on their back, buckled into the product. Why are inclined sleepers so dangerous? Research shows that infant inclined sleep products-which are designed to put babies to bed at an incline between 10 degrees and 30 degrees-are not a safe sleep environment for babies.
