First Wish Infant Sleep Bags Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

TJX recalled First Wish infant sleep bags for babies 0 to 6 months, sold at T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and Sierra. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the voluntary recall on May 5, 2021, as Recall No. 21-123. The recall covers First Wish sleep bags with style numbers CL00824, CL00889, and CL00911. An oversized neck opening can let an infant’s head slip through the fabric and become covered, which poses a suffocation risk. Parents should stop using an affected sleep bag right away and reach out to TJX about a refund or gift card. This recall remains open. CPSC has not issued a termination notice.

Latest First Wish Infant Sleep Bags Recall Updates

May 5, 2021: CPSC Announces Recall of First Wish Sleep Bags

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) worked with Health Canada. CPSC announced a voluntary recall of about 3,600 First Wish sleep bags in the United States on May 5, 2021, under Recall No. 21-123 [1]. TJX also recalled nine other private-label sleep bags sold at the same T.J. Maxx-family retailers for the same hazard. TJX offered affected families a refund or a gift card as a remedy.

January 27, 2021: Health Canada Posts Its Own Recall Notice

Health Canada posted its own recall notice, RA-74851, for the same sleep-sack line on January 27, 2021 [2]. The notice named First Wish among nine affected brands identified by model number CA07043. The company reported about 33,242 units sold in Canada. That figure differs slightly from the roughly 33,250 units the CPSC notice cites for Canada, since each agency reports its own count.

Which First Wish Infant Sleep Bags Are Affected?

The recall covers First Wish infant sleep bags with the following style numbers:

• Style number CL00824
• Style number CL00889
• Style number CL00911

Each style number is printed on a label sewn inside the side seam, behind the care label. A second label near the neck lists the brand name, First Wish, and the size, 0-6 months. Check both labels against this list carefully to see whether a sleep bag in your home falls under Recall No. 21-123. TJX imported and sold these sleep bags under the First Wish name at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores nationwide, and online at tjmaxx.com, marshalls.com, and sierra.com, between April 2018 and February 2021, for about $20 each.

Why Were the First Wish Infant Sleep Bags Recalled?

First Wish infant sleep bags were recalled because the neck opening is too large for infants ages 0 to 6 months. When the opening is oversized, an infant can slip a head through the fabric. The sleep bag can then cover the infant’s face, creating a risk of suffocation. The recalled sleep bags carry the same three style numbers named above. TJX sold nine other private-label sleep bags with the same oversized neck opening under different brand names, and CPSC recalled all ten together for the identical hazard. Health Canada identified the same hazard first, posting its own recall notice on January 27, 2021, before CPSC’s May 5, 2021 announcement, since each regulator reviews and issues recalls on its own timeline.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC’s recall notice reports that no incidents or injuries had been received in connection with First Wish infant sleep bags as of the May 5, 2021 recall announcement. That zero-incident count reflects only the reports CPSC and TJX had received by the May 5, 2021 announcement date. New reports about First Wish sleep bags can still reach CPSC through SaferProducts.gov after that date. Every First Wish sleep bag sold under the recalled style numbers between April 2018 and February 2021 carries the same neck-opening hazard, regardless of when in that window it was purchased. A parent who suspects a First Wish sleep bag caused a child’s injury can still contact CPSC directly to file a report.

What Should Consumers Do?

Parents and caregivers who own a First Wish infant sleep bag should take the following steps:

1. Stop using the recalled First Wish sleep bag immediately, even if it looks undamaged.
2. Check the label inside the side seam for style number CL00824, CL00889, or CL00911.
3. Contact TJX for a full refund or a store gift card: online buyers can email ecommercecustomerservice@tjx.com or call 833-888-0776, and in-store buyers can email customerservice@tjx.com or call 800-926-6299, both 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
4. Use the “Contact Us” page at tjmaxx.com, marshalls.com, or sierra.com if a phone line is unavailable.
5. Report any problem with the sleep bag to CPSC at 800-638-2772 or through SaferProducts.gov.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

The same infant sleep bags were also recalled in Canada, as described above, and separately flagged in the United Kingdom. The UK’s Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) issued alert 2101-0207, “Childcare Articles and Children’s Equipment – Baby Sleep Bag” [3]. The alert names First Wish among 11 brands sold in TK Maxx stores between August 2018 and December 2020, matching the same neck-opening hazard. The UK notice does not state an incident or injury count for this product line, unlike the CPSC and Health Canada notices.

Legal Options

No MDL has been filed over the First Wish infant sleep bag recall. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) pending-docket report from September 1, 2026 lists no TJX, First Wish, or infant-sleep-bag case [4]. That JPML report tracks multidistrict litigation cases only, separate from an individual lawsuit or a state-court class action a family might pursue on its own. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. A parent who believes a recalled First Wish sleep bag caused harm to a child may have a product liability claim worth a free case review.

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines to bring a product liability claim come from each state’s own law. They do not come from this recall notice or from its announcement date. The time limit depends on where a family lives and when the harm, or its diagnosis, occurred. Some states start the clock at diagnosis rather than at purchase. Missing a filing deadline can end a claim even when the underlying facts are strong, so anyone considering a claim should speak with a lawyer promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the First Wish Infant Sleep Bag Recall Still Active?

Yes, this recall of First Wish infant sleep bags was still active as of September 26, 2026, the date this page was last checked. CPSC had not published a termination notice for Recall No. 21-123, so an affected sleep bag should not be used until it is exchanged.

Has a Lawsuit Been Filed over the First Wish Infant Sleep Bag Recall?

No lawsuit against First Wish over its infant sleep bag recall has been filed into an MDL, per JPML’s September 1, 2026 pending-docket report. This page did not separately check for an individual lawsuit or state class action as of September 26, 2026, the date it was last reviewed.

How Do Canadian Consumers Return a Recalled First Wish Sleep Bag?

Canadian consumers should return a recalled sleep bag to any Winners, Marshalls, or HomeSense store for a refund, per Health Canada’s own recall notice. That remedy differs from the US process, where TJX customers may choose between a refund and a store gift card.

Does the First Wish Recall Cover First Wish Organic Sleep Bags Too?

No, this recall does not cover First Wish Organic sleep bags. First Wish Organic is a separate brand named on the same CPSC notice, with its own style numbers CL00981, CL00985, and CL01099, different from First Wish’s CL00824, CL00889, and CL00911.

Why Do CPSC and Health Canada Report Different Unit Counts for Canada?

CPSC and Health Canada report different unit counts for Canada because each agency published its own figure. CPSC’s notice cites about 33,250 units sold in Canada as a cross-reference, while Health Canada’s own recall notice states 33,242 units for the same product line.

Who Imported First Wish Infant Sleep Bags, and Where Were They Made?

TJX, headquartered in Framingham, Massachusetts, imported First Wish infant sleep bags into the United States. The sleep bags were manufactured in China and India before TJX sold them under its own First Wish house-brand name.
