Nancy Cowles is glad that a national recall has just been reannounced for inclined sleepers for infants that had been pulled off the market in 2019 as a safety hazard for babies and banned by Congress two years later.
But Cowles, executive director of the Chicago-based nonprofit Kids in Danger, is sorry that it took the deaths of 12 more babies in the dangerous sleepers to get manufacturers to make the new announcement, which came through the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission.
