Staff at the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) have recommended a major redesign of baby loungers and similar infant cushions following the deaths of 79 babies from 2010 to 2022. The proposed safety measures would require the cushions to be as firm as a crib mattress and limit the height of the walls to less than 2 inches to reduce the risk of suffocation or restricted breathing. The changes would also include more prominent warning labels cautioning against using the cushions for sleep or leaving babies unattended. The CPSC commissioners will decide whether to adopt the recommendations in November, and if approved, the public will have the opportunity to provide feedback before implementation. Manufacturers have defended their products as safe when used as intended, while awake and supervised.
