What are the defects?
The sleep sack contains a weighted patch that poses compression or suffocation risk. Safe infant sleeping guidance discourages use of weighted swaddles and sleepwear.
What are the hazards?
Weighted sleepwear can restrict an infant’s chest and abdominal movement which increases the risk of suffocation.
Weighted products can also limit an infant’s movements. For example, if an infant rolled onto its stomach it may not be able to roll back over.
What should consumers do?
