The Kalencom Corporation Recalls SARO Braided Crib Bumpers Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Suffocation; Violates Federal Crib Bumper Ban
Issued January 8, 2026 · CPSC recall #26169
The hazard
The recalled padded crib bumpers violate the federal ban on crib bumpers because they can obstruct an infant's breathing, posing a risk of serious injury or death, due to suffocation. This creates an unsafe sleeping environment for infants. Padded crib bumpers are banned by the federal Safe Sleep for Babies Act.
What to do
Consumers should stop using the crib bumpers immediately and request a full refund in one of the following ways: For SARO Braided Crib Bumpers purchased in store at MacroBaby in Orlando, Florida, consumers should return the item to the store for a refund. For SARO Braided Crib Bumpers purchased online, consumers should email info@kalencom.com with the subject line "Crib Bumper Recall - Refund Request" and include name and phone number, along with a photo showing the crib bumper cut in half as proof of destruction.
