Latest Harry & Me Infant Sleep Bags Recall Updates
May 5, 2021: CPSC Announces Recall of Harry & Me Infant Sleep Bags
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of Harry & Me infant sleep bags on May 5, 2021 [1]. Health Canada announced the same recall in Canada [2]. The bags’ neck opening was oversized, a suffocation hazard explained below. About 3,600 units were sold in the United States, and about 33,250 more in Canada. No incidents or injuries were reported.Which Harry & Me Infant Sleep Bags Are Affected?
The recalled Harry & Me infant sleep bags, style CL01102, carry these identifiers on their labels:- Brand name and size: Harry & Me, 0 to 6 months, on a label at the neck
- Style number: CL01102, printed on a label inside the side seam of the bag
Why Were the Harry & Me Infant Sleep Bags Recalled?
Harry & Me infant sleep bags were recalled because the neck opening is too large for infants 0 to 6 months, a sizing defect kept separate from any reported injury. The same CPSC notice explains that an infant’s head can slip into the oversized opening. The bag can then cover the infant’s face, posing a suffocation risk. TJX imported the sleep bags under Harry & Me and nine other private-label brand names. Manufacturers made them in China and India as a wearable blanket alternative for infants. CPSC and Health Canada coordinated this recall because the same sizing defect affected sleep bags sold under multiple brand names in both countries.Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
CPSC’s May 5, 2021 recall notice reported no incidents, injuries, illnesses, or deaths connected to the Harry & Me infant sleep bags. This covers all ten recalled brand names sold in the United States and Canada. No source found in this review shows a later incident tied to these sleep bags. A zero count does not mean the hazard is not real. It means none had reached CPSC or TJX by the notice date. The company separately told Health Canada it had received no reports of suffocation in Canada as of March 4, 2021, consistent with the CPSC notice’s finding for the United States.Were you or a family member hurt by this product?
