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 is for a risk-of-harm product (suffocation) where injury has not yet been reported for this specific brand, but the hazard is severe and linked to fatalities in similar products.

Plain-English summary

Tailored Baby, Inc., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is voluntarily recalling its "Comfort Cushion" infant cushions because of a suffocation risk. The product is a fabric-covered, polystyrene pellet-filled cushion intended for use with infants. Although the specific Tailored Baby product is not known to be involved in any safety-related incident, the CPSC has received 19 reports of infants found dead lying face-down on similar infant bean bag cushions made by other firms.

Approximately 78,000 Comfort Cushions were sold nationwide from 1988 through April 1990. The manufacturer's name is attached to the product along with fiber content information.

The CPSC urges consumers to stop using these cushions immediately. Consumers may return the paper tag with the manufacturer's name and a six-square-inch piece of fabric cut from the cover to Tailored Baby, Inc. to receive a free shopping cart restraint or an Infant Seat Cushion Cover. Alternatively, consumers may return the product directly to the place of purchase for a refund of the purchase price.
