Richard Trumka , a Consumer Product Safety Commission commissioner, is suing the CPSC and a manufacturer of weighted baby swaddles.

The CPSC is tasked with protecting the public against unreasonable risks of injury associated with consumer products.

The Commission issued a product safety determination on such products by updating its Safe Sleep guidance in January 2024 to say, "Don't use weighted blankets".
