Which ones does it cover?
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using Budget Baby Boost crib bumpers immediately because they can obstruct an infant’s breathing, posing a risk of serious injury or death from suffocation. Padded crib bumpers are banned under the Safe Sleep for Babies Act. CPSC urges consumers to stop using the crib bumpers immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous products. CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the retailer, Budget Baby Boost, of China. Budget Baby Boost has been unresponsive to CPSC’s request to recall these products or offer a remedy to consumers. Parents and caregivers are reminded: The best place for an infant to sleep is on a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet or play yard. Use a fitted sheet only and never add blankets, pillows, padded crib bumpers, or other items to an infant’s sleeping environment. Infants should always be placed to sleep on their back. Infants who fall asleep in an inclined or upright position should be moved to a safe sleep environment with a firm, flat surface such as a crib, bassinet or play yard. This warning involves Budget Baby Boost crib bumpers. The padded, round crib bumpers measure about 197 inches long, have ties at the ends and were sold in blue, gray, pink and white.
