Infants and young children can roll off the edge of the inflatable air

tent, and suffocate. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is aware of a death
of a 5-month-old boy in December 2011 in New York who was found with his face
pressed against the side wall of the tent. The cause of death was not
determined.
In addition, CPSC is aware of six
reports and Health Canada is aware of three reports of children who became
entrapped or experienced physical distress in the product. Two of the six
reports included infants who were found crying underneath of the mattress that
had not been inserted into the zippered pocket on the bottom of the tent.
