Hazards: The recalled padded crib bumpers violate the federal ban on crib bumpers because they can obstruct an infant's breathing, posing a risk of serious injury or death, due to suffocation. This creates an unsafe sleeping environment for infants. Padded crib bumpers are banned by the federal Safe Sleep for Babies Act.
