Nursing pillows sold on Amazon recalled over suffocation risk

Tens of thousands of nursing pillows sold on Amazon were recalled because they do not meet the standards designed to prevent a baby from suffocating while the products are being used.

Big picture view:

The recall covers more than 25,000 Pillani nursing pillows that were sold between April 2026 and September 2026, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. 

Why you should care:

The CPSC indicated the products violated mandatory safety standards established for nursing pillows and could pose a serious risk of injury or death to children. The commission’s website alleged the pillows may obstruct a child’s ability to breathe and may be a suffocation risk. 

No injuries have been reported at this time.
