The product, in the report: SNOO

3 month old nearly suffocated from Snoo strap moving to around his neck after sliding forward in bassinet. The leg risers were installed due to instructions stating to use if baby is prone to spit up.
I woke up to the sound of my baby struggling and kicking. Thankfully I woke up and checked on him. Because he had slid down and the swaddle is designed to stay in place, the swaddle straps had moved over his neck. He was still breathing and conscious but unknown if he would have been had I not gotten up to check on him as soon as I heard him struggle.
We had not had any issues before this with the SNOO and had been using since birth.
My baby was NOT mobile at this time and NOT able to roll over. We have since stopped using this product and warned others who have it of this situation.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(12/15/2025) Happiest Baby, Inc.: The consumer reports that they placed leg lifters on SNOO to alleviate the baby’s spitting up. The consumer states they found the baby slid down into the SNOO sleep sack. The consumer did not report any breathing difficulties or other issues. There were no injuries and no need for medical care. In response to Happiest Baby’s inquiry about the event, the consumer stated that the baby was struggling to move out of the sack, not struggling to breathe and the swaddle bands did not interfere with breathing. The consumer noted that they could have placed the swaddle’s inner bands too low when they positioned the baby in SNOO. The consumer confirmed that they continued to use SNOO without the leg lifters and with the newer sleep sack. Happiest Baby provided swaddling instructions to the consumer and requested that they send the swaddle back for review. The SNOO sleep sack is intentionally designed with various safety features. For example: - the sack is constructed so that, if a baby were to slide downward into the sack, the top of the sack would also move downward with the baby, preventing pressure on the neck - the upper panel of the sack is made of a very open-weave mesh, so babies are easily able to breathe if their face is accidentally covered - there is a limited amount of room between the baby’s feet and the bottom of the sack (and the bed) to minimize the distance a baby could move downward, and thus reduce the potential of face covering - the inner band, made of soft stretchy fabric, goes all the way around the chest and arms to ensure that, if a baby is able to push the band upwards, the band’s circumference is much larger than a baby’s neck - the sack has a band between the legs which attaches to the chest band and minimizes sliding into the sack The SNOO leg lifters provide a slight and safe incline of 2.5 degrees, which is a fraction of the 10-degree elevation approved by federal guidelines and the American Academy of Pediatrics. The SNOO and the SNOO sleep sack have been thoroughly tested by independent safety engineers and meet all applicable safety regulations when used as directed. SNOO has been used for 800+ million hours and the company has not received reports - nor heard of reports - of significant infant injury, including injury related to face covering. It is our opinion that the consumer’s report does not reasonably support a concern that the SNOO and its sleep sack present a product hazard.

The product, in the report: SNOO bed made by Happiest Baby

I saw an infant in a SNOO bed shaken vigorously when incorrectly place on its side in a SNOO bed. The child was not injured , but it was clear that it was unsafe to use with the infant in that position. Her head was being whipped forward and backward with the movement of the bed. This was in a hospital NICU, the child was a term infant. Presumably the infant was positioned by the nurse caring for them. I showed the neonatologist , who happened to be steps away,removed the child and unplugged the bed. I also alerted the Clinical nurse specialist. The manufacturer states that the child should be placed on their back in the special harness, however it is possible to incorrectly place the child on its side in the harness and still get the bed to work. There is no WARNING that the child is at risk for serious harm if the instructions are not followed.

The product, in the report: The product is the Snoo Sleepsack

I have used the Snoo bassinet with 2 babies now. I had no concerns with the first baby, who used the Snoo for 6 months. With the second baby (ie. different sleep patterns and temperament) I noticed that she would try so hard to free her arms from the swaddle strap that it rose up to her neck. This happened multiple times that we (parents) have found our baby with the straps (under the zipper) up all the way to our baby’s neck in a dangerous position. I looked on CPSC website and see that the same concern was reported by someone in 2021. I also just ordered a new swaddle for the Snoo and see that the company has added a velcro strap through the diaper area. I think this is a nice safety update. However, I am writing because I think a thorough and thoughtful investigation should be made into this issue AND that a voluntary recall and replacement should be commenced by the manufacturer BEFORE an infant strangulation occurs with the original Snoo sleep sack.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(12/20/2022) Happiest Baby, Inc.: The consumer reports a general concern related to their baby’s pushing the inner band of the sack up to the level of her neck. There is no mention of discomfort, distress, or injury to the baby. The company does not believe the displacement of the band to the neck level is a safety issue. That is because the band is made of very soft, stretchable cotton and the band goes around the baby’s entire back and chest, so the circumference of the band is much greater than the circumference of the baby’s neck. Thus, even if the band gets displaced to the level of the neck, there is no risk of strangulation. The sack meets all safety standards. It has been used by hundreds of thousands of babies without a single reported sack-related injury. We added the diaper flap to the sack in line with our commitment to optimize user experience. This change made it more difficult for the baby to break apart the band, thus keeping the hands at the baby’s sides and lessening the chance of crying and waking. In summary, the consumer’s report does not reasonably support the conclusion that the SNOO sleep sack present substantial product hazard.

The product, in the report: Snoo Bassinet, white with wood paneling. SNOO Assembled: Dimensions: 35.75” L × 19” W × 31” H (with legs); Weight: 38 lbs Model S1000 UPC 817720020085

My son was sleeping in a Snoo bassinet, which rocks a baby to sleep, and rocks more aggressively the more the baby wiggles. It requires the baby to be [REDACTED] into a harness which is zipped up and strapped into the bassinet. During the night he broke through both the [REDACTED] and the zipper, the latch of which was then stuck around his neck, while the harness was still strapped in and the snoo still rocking. It appeared to slowly be choking him. The only reason I noticed it is the [REDACTED] sock he was wearing showed what appeared to be irregular heartrate patterns.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(1/11/2022) Happiest Baby, Inc.: The consumer reports that their baby broke open the zipper of the SNOO sleep sack, but the zipper latch remain closed around the baby’s neck. The consumer was concerned that the baby might be “slowly choking” but they did not notice any coughing, crying, or breathing difficulties, nor do they mention any injuries or need for medical attention. The consumer said their only reason for concern was the baby sock’s recording of irregular heartbeat. They made no note of a change in blood oxygenation.
It is unclear how a small infant could be strong enough to break open a properly closed zipper. It is possible that the zipper teeth were accidentally misaligned or that the sack was purchased second hand, with a damaged zipper. But even if the zipper opens and a baby were to move downward, the sack is constructed so that top of the sack would also move downward with the baby, preventing pressure from being generated on the baby’s neck. Furthermore, the sack and bed are designed to have a limited amount of room between the baby’s feet and the bottom of the sack or the bed. This restricts the distance a baby could potentially move down in the bed, which would also reduce the potential of any neck pressure in case of a broken zipper. Two other safety features, the sack’s internal arm band and arm holes, also reduce the baby’s potential to migrate down in the sack or the bed.
In summary, the consumer’s report does not reasonably support the conclusion that the SNOO and its sleep sack present substantial product hazard.

The product, in the report: SNOO Infant Sleeper

I used the SNOO Infant Sleeper made by [REDACTED]/Happiest Baby On The Block for my infant from 2 months of age until 6 months of age. The SNOO is supposed to help infants sleep better by keeping them swaddled and strapped in place while also providing white noise and a variable rocking motion. Due to the swaddle and straps which hold the baby in place, my infant did not have opportunity during the night to move around as an infant would normally in a regular crib. He now has some large motor delays. He has been assessed by a pediatrician and referred to physical therapy.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(10/27/2020) Happiest Baby, Inc.: While Happiest Baby sympathizes with the consumer, the assertions made in this report are inconsistent with existing research on infant motor development. Happiest Baby does not believe any information in the report reasonably supports the conclusion that the SNOO Smart Sleeper contains any defect or presents any unreasonable risk or substantial product hazard.
