The Hazard
CLASS 1 WARNING: SUFFOCATION
SARO Braided Crib Bumpers are being recalled because they can cause suffocation. The bumpers violate the federal ban on crib bumpers. They can block a baby’s breathing. This creates a dangerous sleep environment and poses a risk of serious injury or death.
None reported.
Why This Happens: Technical Breakdown
Crib bumpers, especially padded or braided ones, pose a suffocation risk to infants. Babies can roll against the bumper and have their breathing blocked. They may also become trapped between the bumper and the crib mattress. This is especially dangerous for young infants who lack the strength to move themselves. The Safe Sleep for Babies Act bans padded crib bumpers because of these dangers.
