Graco Infant Inclined Sleepers Recalled
According to a news report posted on consumerreports.org, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced that Graco recalled over 51,000 infant inclined sleepers due to infant suffocation deaths tied to similar inclined sleep products.

Research shows that babies sleeping at an incline between 10 degrees and 30 degrees is not safe because this position increases the risk of suffocation and airway compression leading to death. Babies may also suffocate when they fall asleep, and the angle causes their head to slump over, causing the baby’s airway to become cut off. The CPSC states that these fatal events can happen even when the babies are buckled into the inclined sleepers and positioned on the backs. Another suffocation risk is the fabric, which may block the baby’s nose and mouth when it is sleeping on its stomach.
The American Academy of Pediatrics states that babies should be positions on their backs and on top of a firm infant mattress free of soft bedding and bumpers.
