The pillows secure the bottle at an unsafe angle while keeping it fixed in place, preventing the infant from pulling away. This can lead to aspiration of milk or formula, posing a risk of serious injury or death from suffocation.
CPSC urges consumers immediately to stop using and dispose of the following self-feeding pillows. Do not sell or give away these hazardous products:
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers immediately to stop using infant self-feeding pillows because the pillows secure the bottle at an unsafe angle while keeping it fixed in place, preventing the infant from pulling away. This can lead to aspiration of milk or formula, posing a risk of serious injury or death from suffocation.
The self-feeding pillows are made of stuffed fabric and have arms that wrap around the infant's neck. The pillows fasten with snaps or a hook-and-loop fastener behind the infant's head. An elasticized sleeve or mesh pocket secures the bottle at an angle in front of the infant's face.
CPSC urges consumers immediately to stop using and dispose of the following self-feeding pillows. Do not sell or give away these hazardous products:
"CPSC is protecting American infants from dangerous self-feeding pillows that put our most vulnerable family members at risk," said CPSC Acting Chairman Peter A. Feldman. "Far too many of these dangerous products come from China. Stopping these products from flooding our country remains a top CPSC priority."
The products were sold on Amazon.com from July 2021 through November 2025 for between $12 and $25.
CPSC has requested that these sellers recall the self-feeding pillows and provide a remedy to consumers, but none has agreed to an acceptable recall.
Parents and caregivers are reminded:
Report any incidents involving injury or product defects to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov.
The recalled baby gyms violate the mandatory safety standard for infant support cushionsbecause the floor mats can obstruct an infant's breathing, posing a serious risk of injury or deadly suffocation hazard.
The recalled gates violate the mandatory standard for expansion gates and expandable enclosuresbecause a child's torso can fit through the opening between the gate and the floor, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to entrapment.
The recalled teething toys violate the mandatory standard for toys because the silicone strings are smaller than permitted. The silicone strings can reach the back of the throat and become lodged, posing a risk of respiratory distress, serious choking hazard and death.
The recalled self-feeding pillows hold the bottle at an unsafe angle while keeping it fixed in place so the infant cannot pull away. This can lead to aspiration of milk or formula, posing a risk of suffocation.
The aftermarket mattresses violate the mandatory standard for crib mattresses, as the mattresses may not adequately fit certain play yards or non-full-sized cribs, which could create gaps posing a deadly entrapment hazard. Babies can face a risk of suffocation in gaps between an undersized mattress, or extra padding, and side walls of a product, especially when the infant's face becomes trapped against the side and the mattress, preventing the infant from breathing.
The recalled baby loungers violate the mandatory safety standard for Infant Sleep Products. The sides are too low to contain an infant and the enclosed openings at the foot of the loungers are wider than allowed, posing serious risks of fall and entrapment hazards to infants. In addition, the baby loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard if used on elevated surfaces. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment and can cause death or serious injury.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
