What’s wrong with it?
Without spreader bars to hold the mini-hammock bed open, the mini-hammocks can suddenly twist around children’s necks and strangle them. Also, infants sleeping on soft bedding can become wedged in positions in which they cannot breathe.

Was anyone hurt?
No injuries have been reported with these hammocks but, between 1984 and 1995, CPSC received reports of 12 deaths of children in other mini-hammocks. CPSC also recommends that babies never be placed on soft bedding. To prevent suffocation, babies should sleep in a crib on a firm, flat mattress on their backs, with no pillows or other soft bedding.
