Parents, consumer advocates, pediatricians, and others are raising alarms about weighted infant sleepwear, which has been named in death reports. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have issued warnings against the use of weighted sleep sacks and blankets. These products, including those from Dreamland Baby and Nested Bean, have been pulled from major retailers such as Amazon and Walmart. Experts are reminding parents that soft surfaces like couches or adult mattresses are not safe for babies to sleep on, and adults should never sleep next to them. The CPSC is currently investigating multiple deaths associated with these products.
