What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

The Boppy Company LLC is recalling approximately 14,000 Boppy Infant Head and Neck Support Accessories due to a suffocation hazard. The recall involves two styles: Ebony Floral (model number 4150114) and Heathered Gray (model number 4150117). The model number is printed on the fabric label on the back of the head support. These accessories are designed to be used in infant swings, bouncers, and strollers.

The hazard exists because the head support area can be overstuffed, which may cause an infant's head to be tilted too far forward. The company has received three reports of babies' heads being pushed forward chin to chest by the product. No injuries have been reported.

The products were sold at Target, Buy Buy Baby, and other juvenile products and discount furniture stores nationwide, as well as online at Amazon.com, from March 2019 through May 2019 for about $20. Consumers should immediately stop using the head support and contact The Boppy Company for a full refund. The company can be reached toll-free at 888-772-6779 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, by email at [email protected], or online at www.boppy.com.
