Amazon has a product for sale that violates infant safety regulations. Never prop the bottle and let your baby feed alone because it presents a danger that they will choke or the bottle will slip out of position. Propping the bottle also increases the risk of ear infections. it is not recommend to use devices to hold a bottle in a babys mouththey could be dangerous. Amazon sells a baby bottle proper that a friend recently received and i was mortified to see they sell these. I am a labor and delivery postpartum nurse and provide mandatory education to parents of the risk of bottle proping.

A 1 month old white female infant, was found at 0850 hours lying face down into the mother’s arm/body. The decedent’s mother had been breastfeeding the decedent in her bed using a pillow (leachco pillow) to assist at 0400 hours and had reportedly fallen asleep during the feeding and found the decedent as described.

My child died this year resulting from using this product. She was on a boppy when she died from being found face down and suffocated.

While I was out of town, I ordered four Derila Memory Foam Pillows online on August 24, 2024 because they were promoted as a sleep product helpful for back and neck pain caused by other pillows that do not support the neck properly. When I opened one of the four bags within the shipping package and took the pillow out, there was a horrible chemical smell coming from the pillow that made me nauseated so I immediately put the pillow back in the bag and taped it up. On September 16, 2024, I sent the customer support team at Derila an email (after calling 1-236-312-1703, their phone number but it did not go through-British Columbia #) to inform them of this horrible smell, letting them know that I have a young baby in the house, and that I was requesting a Return Merchandise Authorization Form in accordance with their return policy. [REDACTED] from that department refused to send me the form and instead, insisted that I keep the pillows and said that "the smell should go away in a well-ventilated area within a few days or a week."

I put my 3 month old infant in a boppy lounger that was on an ottoman while I stepped away to use the restroom. About a minute later I heard a loud bang and she started screaming, it appears she had straightened her legs and slid out of the lounger onto the floor.

After consideration of the medical history, reported scene investigation, autopsy findings, toxicology report, microbiology testing, and the circumstances surrounding the death, as currently understood, the cause of death is acute bronchopneumonia. The unsafe sleep environment (infant placed to sleep on a Boppy pillow) likely contributed to the demise. The finding of acute bronchopneumonia provides an anatomic cause of death; however, it also increases the infant’s vulnerability to an accidental asphyxial event in the setting of an unsafe sleep environment (i.e. placed to sleep on a Boppy pillow). Leaving an infant unattended or placing them to sleep on a nursing pillow increases the risk of accidental asphyxia because their head may fall in such a way that their airway becomes compressed. As such, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued warnings regarding sleeping and these products.1,2 In the setting of a contributing unsafe sleep environment, the manner of death is best classified as accident.

This consumer purchased a standard sized pillow from a retailer in California August 28, 2016 and liked it so much in the beginning that she returned to the store to purchase another. She began sleeping on the one pillow and noticed that she progressively had a feeling of slight lack of well being but she dismissed it. Around September 6, 2016 she was visiting with a friend and stated that she didn't feel well at all and so she went home. Wednesday, September 7 and Thursday September 8, 2016 the caller was taking her blood pressure and noticed that her blood pressure was rising. She is a registered nurse and so took her BP Medication but by Friday, September 9, 2016 her blood pressure 227/115 which prompted her to drive to the emergency room. She was kept at St. Mary's hospital emergency room from 9:30PM on Friday until 10:30AM on Friday to bring her blood pressure back to normal. She was seen by her physician September 12, 2016 and was provided with additional blood pressure medicine which did not bring her pressure down. She went to emergency care September 12, 2016 and received a change in blood pressure medicine again. She returned home and made no changes until Thursday, September 15th, 2016 when she read labels on the pillow instructing her to wash them before using them. She washed the pillows but has not used them again and her health has been improving progressively since she stopped use of the pillows. Her blood pressure has been lowering and her doctor has taken her off of the additional blood pressure medicines. She has not contacted the manufacturer because she states that they are located in China.

Product marketed as a bassinet for newborns appears to violate CPSC standards
