A baby could slip down into the sleeping bag and then suffocate from the garment covering their face.
TK Maxx is also recalling numerous sleep bags.

The products were sold in stores between August 2018 and December 2020.
The brand names are Sam & Jo, First Wish, Little Red Caboose, Willow Blossom, Aspen, Piper & Posie.
