I ordered baby/toddler slings from https://bloomingbabies.co/ I saw in an Ad on [REDACTED]. They are totally unsafe to be holding babies, the second you add any weight to the sling, the straps slip out of the buckles! All pictures of the product dont show any straps.

My parents purchased a Shiaon baby sling mesh carrier to carry my month old child. I tried to do my due diligence to make sure it is safe, and believe it does not comply with cpsc requirements for soft or sling infant carriers. For one thing, it has no safety label or instructions attached to the carrier itself. I have asked them not to use this carrier with my child, since there is no indication that the company has complied with minimum safety standards. As far as I can tell, this link shows the same carrier they showed me https://www.amazon.com/Shiaon-Carrier-Shoulder-Lightweight-Carrying/dp/B0B6Z9SVXG

I am concerned about the sale of front facing baby swaddlers. This is very dangerous and could cause smothering or accidental injury. I witnessed a woman in the grocery store shopping wearing this and reaching for products while her baby was in the front facing swaddler!

An unsafe sleep positioner encouraging sleep on side and stomach. Researched product after talking to a customer and reading the instruction manual.

There is an [REDACTED] ad circulating for the The DreamNest (Ultimate Baby Bed) that is promoted for overnight sleep and uses the words secure attachment so your baby wont suffocate. They are lucky they have no reported deaths from this product but this is grossly misleading and I think this language needs to be changed immediately.

In the forward facing position, my grandson, who is the appropriate height for forward facing according to the specifications of this carrier, was almost strangled as the cloth sat too high under his neck, and it was cutting off his airway. It took no time at all (seconds!) and thankfully we noticed in time. This product should not be used in a forward facing capacity.

On 1/21/23 around 1pm, the entire family walked to the playground with infant in a Solly Baby wrap that was carried by mother. Infant was fussy on the walk over, so mother decided to return home alone with infant. At some point during the walk back, infant stopped fussing and mother assumed he had fallen asleep. When mother arrived home and took infant out of the wrap, she discovered he was limp and unresponsive. 911 was called, and medics transported infant to hospital where he was pronounced.

Caller is reporting that the plastic piece that held the strap together on the infant carrier snapped while she was carrying her 7 month old child. Fortunately she was able to hold the child or this could have caused severe injuries. The manufacturer was contacted and they requested information which she tried to provide to them, however, the company has not provided a replacement although the product was registered and it is a safety issue. Caller is concerned that this infant carrier is a safety hazard and should be reported.
