The product, in the report: This was the HALO Disney 100% Cotton Sleepsack Swaddle, 3-Way Adjustable Wearable Blanket, TOG 1.5, Mickey Overlay, Small, 3-6 Months.
My son was swaddled in a halo sleep swaddle and the design of the swaddle allowed the fabric to cover his nose and mouth. He is the correct age to be swaddled. He was swaddled tightly, and he was within the correct weight and height limits.

The product, in the report: Halo Sleepsack 100% Cotton Swaddle, Blue and Grey Dot, Newborn
I used Halo Sleepsack Swaddle to swaddle my newborn baby. Despite using the correct size and following the manufacturer’s instructions, my baby was able to wriggle in her swaddle resulting in it covering her face while she was sleeping. It did not matter how tightly I wrapped her, she still wound up with the swaddle covering her mouth. I discontinued use of the product. I have read several reviews online of this happening to other babies.

The product, in the report: Halo 100% Cotton Sleepsack Swaddle / Pink / Back is best
When I had my daughter, the hospital provided me with a “Swaddle” or “Sleep Sack”. I used the sleep sack for quite some time, until one day my daughter squirmed her way out of the two wings that come across her chest and velcrow to create a swaddle. The wing was up near her face. (I work at a consumer products testing lab, so I am more in tune with anything that can be considered hazardous.) I was curious since the tag seemed rather thick, so I put the tag up to my face and was shocked to find that I could not breathe through the tag. I have not used that sleep sack since.

The product, in the report: Halo infant swaddle sleep sack. Newborn size
Infant was swaddled in the halo infant swaddle sleep sack. The garment was secured as the instructions indicated, with the Velcro fasteners tightly fastened. I awoke to find that the material of the swaddle portion of the product had migrated upward and was obscuring the baby’s mouth and nose. The baby’s arms were still positioned downward, indicating it had not been the result of her trying to struggle out. Of note, this is the most recent version of the product, with the swaddle portion sewn into the sleep sack portion. Also of note, this was the proper size of the product- the baby was 4 weeks old and 9 pounds 15 ounces using the “newborn” sized product.

The product, in the report: Halo Sleep Sack Size Medium with Turtle and Flower Design
I purchased a Halo Sleep Sack size medium (the appropriate size according to the weight and height chart provided.) It slipped over my daughter’s mouth and nose and was a suffocation risk. The weight and height chart was way off, and the product should have had a warning and instructions for proper use and fit, which it doesn’t. The V-neck versus Crew neck design and lack of adjustable snaps make it able to slip over a baby’s head, especially a very mobile baby like my daughter. The arm holes are too big and do not prevent the large V-neck from riding up and over the nose and mouth area

Hurt, care not known Made Feb 23, 2012, sent to the company Mar 2, 2012, published by CPSC Mar 23, 2012
The product, in the report: Halo Sleep Sack
I want to make you aware of a very serious safety concern involving HALO SLEEP SACKS for infants that recently occurred with my 8 month old daughter. The Halo Sleep Sack is a wearable blanket designed for babies to wear in their cribs to prevent SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). The Halo Sleep Sack has a tag that is attached to the back. My daughter managed to pull it off while she was in her crib for her nap and then put it in her mouth. By the time I got up to her room, the entire tag was lodged in her throat. Thank god she made some noise and I went up to check on her and saw that she was gagging. The tag was in the back of her throat, halfway down her airway. I pulled it out and she was alright, but I shutter to think what might have happened if the tag had gotten into her mouth earlier in her nap and I had not gone upstairs to check on her. She could have choked to death.
When you are dealing with products that are designed for infants to sleep in, knowing they will be unattended while in their cribs, anything that could be a potential safety hazard should be removed. I have three kids and have used the halo sleep sack with all three, and nothing like this ever occurred before, so I never even thought twice about cutting off the tags. However, I would highly recommend that Halo go “tagless” and instead simply print a label on the back of the sleep sack itself. I would hate to hear of any baby suffocating or choking on a tag they managed to dislodge while in their crib when their parents believe they are sleeping.
Thank you for your attention

The product, in the report: Halo sleepsack Disney, Winnie the Pooh brand, Micor Fleece, beige top with Disney characters and a green bottom GPU#2227 1877101705
My daughter went to sleep in a Halo sleepsack on Wednesday, November 9, 2011. When I went in to wake her up on Thursday, November 10, 2011, the slider body and pull tab of the zipper were no longer attached. The slider body piece was in her right ear and the pull tab was near her left hand. One piece could have easily gotten lodged in her ear. She could have choked on both. I have contacted the company via email but have not gotten a response from them.
