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.

Our severity reasoning: This recall involves a high-risk hazard—suffocation of infants—where the product violates a federal ban on padded crib bumpers. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the risk of serious harm to vulnerable infants is inherent in the product's design defect.
