Infant pillows recalled
One manufacturer of infant pillows and cushions the federal government said was involved in the suffocation of 10 babies in two years said it voluntarily removed its product from stores earlier this year.
Leo Hollander, owner of Hollander Home Fashions of Newark, N.J., said the company stopped making its "Mother's Helper Cushion" in January and told distributors to remove them from stores.
Infant pillows have been linked to the deaths, including seven since June.
The company voluntarily recalled 400,000 cushions, but Hollander said his company does not believe that its product is responsible for the death of any infant.
"The product labeling warns parents never to leave their children unattended," he said. The company did not recall cushions bought by consumers.
