Product Hazards

Soft Bedding

It is always best to remove all loose and fluffy bedding from your baby's sleep area. This includes bumper pads, sleep positioners, pillows, blankets, comforters, and stuffed toys. Soft bedding can pose an unnecessary suffocation hazard to children, as well as limit fresh air causing a potentially fatal buildup of exhaled air (carbon dioxide) that when rebreathed is one of the leading cause of SIDS.
