While it may seem unthinkable that a trusted manufacturer of infant products would sell a baby sleeper with little, if any, regard for pediatric sleep safety, that scenario has repeatedly played out across multiple name brands and popular products that have been linked to infant deaths throughout the United States.

Indeed, consumers often operate under the false assumption that infant sleep products are safe and designed by professionals with relevant expertise. The reality, however, is that these products are created to maximize corporate profits and often disregard the guidelines issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which instruct that infants should be put to sleep on their backs, on a separate, flat and firm sleep surface without any bumpers, loose bedding or stuffed toys.
