No injuries or fatalities due to the recalled products have been reported, according to the USCPSC, but similar products were previously recalled following reports of infants rolling from their backs to their stomachs or sides. Consumers should stop using the products immediately, the USCPSC says.

“Last fall, CPSC cautioned consumers not to use inclined sleep products. The agency is actively engaged with manufacturers and retailers to get inclined sleep products out of the marketplace,” said USCPSC press secretary Patty Davis in a statement. “We have announced recalls of millions of inclined sleepers and urge consumers to take advantage of the remedies being offered. CPSC is also pursuing mandatory rulemaking for this product.”

Babies should always be placed on their backs to sleep, according to the USCPSC, which says a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet or play yard is the best place for a baby to sleep. Parents and caregivers should never add blankets, pillows or other items to a baby’s sleeping environment, according to the agency.

Recalled products include:

The free-standing SwaddleMe By Your Bed Sleeper by Summer Infant with the model number 91394 (which can be found on the cross bar tube of the frame between two upright tubes). USCPSC estimates about 46,300 products are affected by the recall. Consumers can receive a cash refund or voucher from Summer via its website or at 800-426-8627.

The Pillo Portable Napper by Evenflo with the model number 12132125 (located on the leg of the product). The recall affects about 3,100 of the products. Consumers can receive a cash refund or voucher from Evenflo online or at 800-233-5921.
