The unanimous vote by the Consumer Product Safety Commission comes after an NBC News investigation found that at least 162 babies died in incidents involving the pillows since 2007.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has advanced a proposal to create the first federal requirements for nursing pillows after dozens of infant deaths in recent years.
The changes are “designed to preserve the useful function of nursing pillows — allowing caregivers to comfortably feed babies — while eliminating their hazardous use for sleep,” Richard Trumka Jr., one of the CPSC’s Democratic commissioners, said in a statement Monday, describing the proposal as “the next step in the march towards eliminating preventable infant sleep deaths.
Nursing pillows will also be prohibited from having straps to secure babies, which can mislead parents into thinking they can safely step away from their infants, the proposal said.
