Hurt, no treatment Made Mar 13, 2012, sent to the company Mar 21, 2012, published by CPSC Apr 11, 2012
The product, in the report: Thudguard infant safety helmet. Lavender or blue foam with black felt ears and elastic strap with [REDACTED].
My report is regarding the ThudGuard infant safety helmet. It is designed so that it straps under the child’s neck. There were 2 occasions where my 17 month old daughter was wearing the helmet with it strapped as illustrated on the website and in trying to remove the helmet she pushed it off the back of her head. The helmet was hanging by the strap around her throat making her audibly choke the first time and the next time I found her laying in the floor starting to turn blue. She didn’t lose consciousness and didn’t stop breathing but I am afraid of what would have happened if I hadn’t found her and quickly removed the helmet. Since then I have experimented with ways to use the helmet on her head without it posing a strangulation hazard but if you loosen the strap it becomes easier for her to push it off backwards and any tighter it chokes her that way. It is not designed so that it can be strapped behind her neck and you cannot remove the strap to use the helmet without it. This product is not safe in my opinion and would return the product to the company but the packaging and “invoice” (it only had a sticker label with the product name and my shipping address enclosed) got thrown away. It also did not come with any instructions or information regarding proper use of the item. I have not contacted the company and I purchased the helmet through a third party vendor (babyhaven.com) but will if I need to. I ordered the helmet around February 22nd 2012 or so and the first incident occurred within the first week of having the product.
