The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warns that children can strangle if they become entangled in ribbons or streamers hanging from wall decorations near the crib or within reach of children. CPSC knows of incidents involving young children who became entangled in the ribbons of a wall decoration.The padded fabric wall decoration was hung near the crib where the child could reach the ribbons and streamers on the decoration.
CPSC recommends that parents keep wall decorations with ribbons or streamers away from cribs and well out of reach where children play to prevent entanglement and strangulation.
