Biden Signs Law Banning Sleep Products Tied to Infant Deaths

The manufacture and sale of products known as crib bumpers and sleep incliners—linked with more than 200 infant deaths in the United States—will be banned under a new law signed by President Joe Biden.
“This is a long-fought and important victory for babies and anyone who cares about babies,” Teresa Murray, consumer watchdog with the U.S. PIRG Education Fund, said in a statement. “The dangers posed to babies have been apparent for years.”
Companies still have 180 days to comply with the new law, which means the products could cause more harm before they’re no longer available, Murray warned.
