Safeguarding Infants from Dangerous Sleep Act
This bill bans weighted sleep products for infants under 1 year old, including wearable blankets, sleep sacks, and swaddles that add weight for non-insulation purposes. It classifies these products as hazardous under existing consumer safety law, prohibiting their sale, manufacture, or import. The Consumer Product Safety Commission can define specific terms related to the ban, and the law takes effect 180 days after enactment. The policy directly affects infant product manufacturers, retailers, and caregivers who use such items.
