This bill would ban weighted sleep products designed for infants under one year old, including weighted blankets, sleep sacks, and swaddles. The ban would apply to all such products regardless of when they were manufactured and would be enforced under existing Consumer Product Safety Act authority. The legislation targets products that add weight for purposes beyond insulation or decoration, which researchers have linked to safety risks for infants. The Consumer Product Safety Commission would be given authority to create regulations defining the specific products covered by the ban. The law would take effect 180 days after being signed into law, giving manufacturers and retailers time to comply with the ban.
