Should weighted baby blankets and sleep sacks be banned?

(NewsNation) — A group of lawmakers is seeking to ban weighted blankets, swaddles and sleep sacks for babies, citing multiple infant deaths.

Congressman Tony Cárdenas, D-Calif., Congresswoman Kim Schrier, D-Wash. and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-N.Y., introduced the Safeguarding Infants from Dangerous Sleep Act on Friday. Weighted swaddles, sleep sacks and blankets can obstruct babies’ movement and make it difficult for them to breathe during unsupervised overnight sleep, the lawmakers said in a news release.
