Sudden Unexpected Infant Death in Inclined Sleepers: 2009–2023

Infant deaths occurred in inclined sleepers even after the CPSC issued manufacturer recalls in 2019. Health care providers, home visitors, health insurers, and family-serving organizations should continue advising caregivers on the importance of a safe infant sleep environment, including use of a firm, noninclined surface, and avoidance of soft bedding. Improved dissemination of recalls of infant products that represent unsafe sleep environments may reduce the risk of sleep-related deaths.
