Thousands of Halo Magic Sleepsuits Recalled for Choking Risk

In the CPSC recall notice, the company says it has received 15 reports of zippers detaching from the sleepsuits. No injuries have been reported.

The sleepsuits, designed for use with babies between the ages of 3 and 6 months, were sold in small (12-18 lb.) and large (18-21 lb.) sizes. They are printed on the front with “HALO Magic Sleepsuit” and have double zippers running down each side of the sleepsuit’s front. “The detachment can affect one or both zippers,” says Rachel Leventhal, director of brand management at Halo Dream. “Out of an abundance of caution, we are recalling these units to ensure safety.” 

The recall applies to three batches of the sleepsuits, which were sold on Halosleep.com as well as Amazon.com, Target.com, and Walmart.com for $50. “All other Halo Magic Sleepsuits are not affected by this voluntary recall,” says Leventhal.

If you own one or more of these recalled sleepsuits (see batch numbers below), you may be eligible for a coupon code that can be used for a replacement sleepsuit or a $50 store credit for another item on Halosleep.com. 

"It’s unacceptable that Halo is not offering an option for a full refund to customers," says Oriene Shin, CR’s manager of safety advocacy. "Given that this product is recommended for just three months, a store credit or coupon for a replacement is essentially useless for many parents. It’s highly likely that by the time a recall is processed, the baby has outgrown the suit. A recall remedy shouldn’t feel like an attempt to keep people’s money."
