The Kalencom Corporation Recalls SARO Braided Crib Bumpers Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Suffocation; Violates Federal Crib Bumper Ban

What's being recalled

This recall involves SARO Braided Crib Bumpers, Model 1374. The crib bumpers were sold in salmon, gray and mint colors. "Ref. 1374" is printed on a tag sewn into the crib bumpers and on a tag attached to the product packaging.

The problem, in CPSC's words

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.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

None reported.
