Sprout Stuff recalls infant ring slings due to suffocation risk from fabric pressing on baby's nose/mouth and restricted airways when curled. Consumers must stop using and return for refund.
Slings can pose two different types of suffocation hazards to babies. In the first few months of life, babies cannot control their heads because of weak neck muscles. The sling's fabric can press against an infant's nose and mouth, blocking the baby's breathing. Additionally, where a sling keeps the infant in a curled position bending the chin toward the chest, the airways can be restricted, limiting the oxygen supply. The baby will not be able to cry for help and can slowly suffocate.
Sprout Stuff is recalling infant ring slings because they can cause babies to suffocate by blocking breathing or restricting airways. This is especially dangerous for babies under six months who can't control their head movements.
Babies under six months have weak neck muscles that prevent them from controlling their heads. The sling's fabric can press against a baby's nose and mouth, blocking breathing. When the baby curls into the sling, airways can become restricted, limiting oxygen supply and preventing the baby from crying for help.
Parents and caregivers who own Sprout Stuff infant ring slings for babies up to two years old are affected. Babies under six months are at highest risk due to weak neck muscles.
Look for the brand name 'Sprout Stuff' printed on the back of the sling's tail hem. The product is a fabric/natural muslin ring sling designed for children up to two years old.
