Proposed Safety Requirements for Nursing Pillows After Infant Deaths

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff is recommending the implementation of federal safety requirements for nursing pillows following an investigation that linked them to over 100 infant deaths. The proposed guidelines include making the pillows firm enough to prevent suffocation, ensuring wide openings to avoid restricting a baby's head movements, and adding more prominent warning labels to discourage unsupervised use for sleeping. The staff also suggests removing straps that may give caregivers a false sense of safety. CPSC commissioners will meet in September to decide whether to proceed with the proposal, allowing public feedback before finalization.
