Willow Blossom Infant Sleep Bag Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

Willow Blossom infant sleep bags were recalled in May 2021 because the neck opening is too large for infants ages 0 to 6 months, creating a suffocation risk if a baby slips down inside the bag and the fabric covers the head. No incidents or injuries had been reported when the recall was announced, but the hazard involved a product used during infant sleep, where even a sizing problem can become dangerous very quickly.

TJX Companies recalled Willow Blossom infant sleep bags, styles CL00909 and CL00913, on May 5, 2021. CPSC announced the voluntary recall along with nine other TJX house brands sold at the same stores. The recalled sleep bags were made for infants 0 to 6 months and sold at T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and Sierra. Their neck opening is too large, so an infant’s head can slip inside and become covered, creating a suffocation risk. Parents should stop using the recalled sleep bags right away and contact TJX for a refund or store gift card. The recall remains open: the most recent notice on file, an archived CPSC copy from January 2023, shows no closure.

Latest Willow Blossom Infant Sleep Bag Recall Updates

May 5, 2021: CPSC Announces Recall of Willow Blossom Sleep Bags

On May 5, 2021, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary Fast Track recall of infant sleep bags, including Willow Blossom styles CL00909 and CL00913 [1]. TJX Companies coordinated the recall with the agency, which classified it as a Fast Track action under Recall 21-123, and began the recall remedy process for affected buyers, with return instructions detailed in the consumer guidance below.

Which Willow Blossom Infant Sleep Bags Are Affected?

The following Willow Blossom infant sleep bags are part of CPSC Recall 21-123:
  • Style CL00909 (0-6 months)
  • Style CL00913 (0-6 months)
  • Brand name and size printed on a label at the back of the neck
  • Style number printed on a label inside the side seam
Both the brand/size label and the style-number label are sewn into the sleep bag itself rather than printed on the packaging. Check the sleep bag directly if you are unsure whether it matches these styles. T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and Sierra sold the recalled sleep bags in stores and online. The sale ran from April 2018 to February 2021, for about $20 each.

Why Were the Willow Blossom Infant Sleep Bags Recalled?

Willow Blossom infant sleep bags were recalled because the neck opening on each bag is oversized for babies aged 0 to 6 months, according to CPSC Recall 21-123. An infant’s head can slip through the oversized opening and become covered by the fabric. That creates a suffocation risk, according to the CPSC notice. CPSC classified the action as a voluntary Fast Track recall, meaning TJX and the agency worked out the correction together directly. The defect is limited to the neck-opening design on styles CL00909 and CL00913. TJX recalled the affected styles and offered affected buyers a refund or store credit.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC’s recall notice reports no incidents, injuries, or deaths linked to Willow Blossom infant sleep bags. No consumer complaints or medical reports involving the oversized neck opening were noted at the time of the recall posting. CPSC classified this as a Fast Track recall, so TJX and the agency acted on the oversized neck opening before any injury was reported. CPSC will keep the recall notice posted and take new reports if any surface later. In the most recently archived CPSC notice, from January 2023, its record for Willow Blossom infant sleep bags remained clear of injuries or deaths. No lawsuit or class action over this recall has been filed against TJX, according to the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation‘s September 2026 pending-dockets report [2].

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Health Canada posted its own recall (RA-74851) of the same sleep-sack line on January 27, 2021, naming the brand as “Willow Blossum” [3]. Health Canada counted about 33,242 units sold in Canada from July 2015 to December 2020 (a longer window than CPSC’s combined 33,250-unit Canada estimate), remedied by a refund at Winners, Marshalls, or HomeSense. The United Kingdom’s Office for Product Safety and Standards issued a separate alert (2101-0207) for the same product line [4]. It covers sales at TK Maxx from August 2018 to December 2020, withdrawn as a high-risk suffocation hazard.
