The recommendations follow an NBC News investigation that found at least 162 babies have died in incidents involving nursing pillows since 2007.
the first federal requirements intended to make nursing pillows safer and discourage caregivers from setting babies down on the pillows to sleep, citing dozens of deaths associated with the popular infant product.
The nursing pillow on the left would pass a test that CPSC staff want to require, while the one on the right would fail.The CPSC staff also proposed requiring prominent labels warning caregivers of the product’s hazards.
"Thousands of infants die each year in their sleep, and it’s a myth that all of those deaths are inexplicable," CPSC Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. said in a statement to NBC News."When products contribute to infant deaths, I believe it’s CPSC’s duty to eliminate that risk." Autumn Wells' mother Taylor Wells at her daughter’s final resting place at the family cemetery plot in Belmont, Miss.Wells said she was particularly encouraged by the idea of a more prominent, permanent warning label cautioning against letting babies sleep on nursing pillows.
