A new law banning inclined sleepers for infants as crib bumper pads goes into effect June 23.
The Safe Sleep for Babies Act, a new law banning two dangerous infant sleep products, goes into effect on June 23, after years of debate, investigations, and nearly 200 reported deaths.– The Safe Sleep for Babies Act, a new law banning two dangerous infant sleep products, goes into effect on June 23, after years of debate, investigations, and nearly 200 reported deaths.
The popular children’s product was on the market for a decade before it was recalled in 2019 after a Consumer Reports investigation revealed as many as 32 deaths tied to the Rock ‘n Play and other infant inclined sleepers. Last month, President Joe Biden signed the Safe Sleep for Babies Act into law. It officially bans inclined sleepers and crib bumper pads. Combined, they have been linked to nearly 200 reported deaths.“This legislation is an absolutely critical step to help parents and caregivers keep their babies out of unsafe sleep environments. People should be able to trust that if infant sleep products are for sale, they’re safe,” said Consumer Reports Safety Advocate Oriene Shin.
Consumer Reports is urging parents to stop using anything that does not follow best safe sleep practices and should use products covered by federal standards such as cribs, play yards and bassinets.
