The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has written a letter to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) asking for a voluntary recall of weighted infant sleep sacks, saying they pose a risk to babies.
Pediatricians are urging the CPSC to study weighted swaddles and weighted sleep sacks for babies and the potential risk of SIDS.
The American Academy of Pediatrics warns that weighted sleep sacks and swaddles could be deadly. Nested Bean and Dreamland Baby say their products are safe.
