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: The recall involves a high-risk hazard (suffocation, which poses risk of death) to a vulnerable population (infants), and the products violate federal safety regulations. Although no injuries have been reported, the nature of the hazard and regulatory violation place this at the High severity level per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

This recall involves approximately 75 padded crib bumpers sold on AliExpress. The bumpers were sold in four colors: gray with white clouds, teddy bear, light pink, and white. They were supplied by Henan Ouchang Trading Co. Ltd. (sold October 2023 through February 2024 for about $174) and Xinxiang Junshun Trading Co. Ltd. of China (sold December 2023 through February 2024 for about $26).

The recalled crib bumpers pose a suffocation hazard because infants can suffocate if they roll or move on the bumper in a position that obstructs breathing. The products also violate federal law, as padded crib bumpers are banned under federal regulation.

No injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled crib bumpers and contact AliExpress for a full refund. To receive a refund, consumers must destroy the crib bumpers by cutting the straps and padding, then send a photo as proof of destruction by replying directly to an email from AliExpress. AliExpress is contacting all known purchasers.
