UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

In the Matter of LEACHCO, INC., 

Respondent. 

CPSC Docket No. 22–1 

COMPLAINT 

Nature of the Proceedings 

1. This is an administrative 

enforcement proceeding pursuant to 

Section 15 of the Consumer Product 

Safety Act (‘‘CPSA’’), as amended, 15 

U.S.C. 2064, for public notification and 

remedial action to protect the public 

from the substantial risks of injury 

presented by various models of infant 

lounging pillows (‘‘Podsters’’) which 

were manufactured and distributed by 

Leachco, Inc. (‘‘Respondent’’). 

2. This proceeding is governed by the 

Rules of Practice for Adjudicative 

Proceedings before the Consumer 

Product Safety Commission (the 

‘‘Commission’’), 16 CFR part 1025. 

Jurisdiction 

3. This proceeding is instituted 

pursuant to the authority contained in 

Sections 15(c), (d), and (f) of the CPSA, 

15 U.S.C. 2064(c), (d), and (f). 

Parties 

4. Complaint Counsel consists of 

attorneys in the Division of Enforcement 

and Litigation within the Office of 

Compliance and Field Operations 

representing the staff of the 

Commission. 16 CFR 1025.3(d). The 

Commission is an independent federal 

regulatory agency established pursuant 

to Section 4 of the CPSA. 15 U.S.C. 

2053. 

5. Respondent is an Oklahoma 

corporation with its principal place of 

business located at 130 E 10th Street, 

Ada, Oklahoma. 

6. Upon information and belief, 

Respondent is a ‘‘manufacturer’’ and/or 

‘‘distributor’’ of a ‘‘consumer product’’ 

that is ‘‘distribute[d] in commerce,’’ as 

those terms are defined in Sections 

3(a)(5), (7), (8), and (11) of the CPSA, 15 

U.S.C. 2052(a)(5), (7), (8), and (11). 

The Podsters 

7. The Podsters consist of various 

models of infant lounging pillows that 

were manufactured and/or distributed 

in U.S. commerce and offered for sale to 

consumers for their personal use in or 

around a permanent or temporary 

household or residence, school, in 

recreation, or otherwise. 

8. The Podsters are manufactured at 

Respondent’s facilities in Ada, 

Oklahoma. 

9. Upon information and belief, the 

Podsters include, but are not limited to, 

the following models: Podster, Podster 

Plush, Bummzie, and Podster Playtime. 

10. Upon information and belief, 

approximately 180,000 Podsters have 

been manufactured and distributed in 

U.S. commerce since 2009. The Podster 

and Podster Plush models have been 

sold from 2009 to present; the Bummzie 

was sold exclusively at Walmart from 

2010 to 2018; and the Podster Playtime 

was sold from 2014 to 2017. 

11. Upon information and belief, the 

retail price for the Podsters ranges from 

approximately $49 and $89. 

12. The Podsters are sold at various 

retail chains including, but not limited 

to, Amazon.com, Bed Bath and Beyond, 

Buy Buy Baby, Kohls, Macy’s, Toys R 

Us/Babies R Us, and Walmart. 

13. The Podster is a product marketed 

for caregivers to use for infant lounging 

and to ‘‘provide[ ] a warm and cozy 

caress for infants.’’ It was designed to 

permit a caregiver to keep an infant in 

a safe environment, allowing for handsfree supervision. 

14. The Podster is not and has never 

been advertised by Respondent as a 

sleep product. 

15. The Podster contains warnings 

that the product should not be used for 

sleep and that adult supervision is 

always required. 

16. The Podster contains warnings 

that the product should only be used on 

the floor, and not in another product, 

such as a crib, on a bed, table, playpen, 

counter, or any elevated surface. 

17. The Podster contains warnings 

that infants should not be placed prone 

or on their side in the product. 

18. The Podster contains instructions 

that it should be used for infants not to 

exceed 16 pounds, and should not be 

used if an infant can roll over. 

19. The Podster contains warnings 

and instructions that use of the product 

in contravention to these warnings 

could result in serious injury or death. 

The Podsters’ Defects Create a 

Suffocation Hazard 

20. Despite the warnings and 

instructions, it is foreseeable that 

caregivers will use the Podster without 

supervision. It is also foreseeable that 

caregivers will use the Podster for infant 

sleep. 

a. The Podsters are marketed for use 

with infants, and caregivers may trust 

that the products are safe places to leave 

infants. Because the Podsters appear 

simple to use, are likely to be used 

frequently, and do not appear 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 32 / Wednesday, February 16, 2022 / Notices 8805 

dangerous, it is foreseeable that some 

caregivers may disregard or not fully 

read the Podsters’ warnings. 

b. If an infant falls asleep in the 

Podster, a caregiver may choose not to 

disturb the infant and may leave the 

infant asleep in the product. 

c. Caregivers facing difficulties in 

getting their infant to sleep may choose 

to use the Podster for that purpose if the 

Podster appears to help with sleep or if 

the infant appears to be comfortable in 

the Podster, even if the caregiver is 

aware of the contrary product warnings. 

d. Caregivers with an infant who are 

traveling or who are dealing with 

significant financial hardship may be 

more likely to allow an infant to sleep 

in the Podster, as they may not have a 

crib or safe infant sleep product readily 

available. 

e. If an infant falls asleep in the 

Podster, it is foreseeable that the 

caregiver may intentionally sleep while 

the infant is asleep, may accidentally 

fall asleep while the infant is asleep, 

may use the time that the infant is 

asleep to catch up on work or chores, or 

otherwise may leave the infant 

unsupervised. 

21. Unsupervised infants can roll or 

move on the Podster into a position 

where their nose and mouth are 

obstructed by the Podster. 

22. Unsupervised infants can roll or 

move off the Podster into a position 

where their nose and mouth are 

obstructed by another object, such as 

soft bedding. 

23. Despite warnings and instructions, 

some caregivers may not place infants 

on their backs in the Podster and may 

place infants in positions where their 

nose and mouth may be obstructed by 

the Podster. 

24. The Podster is defective because it 

can cause airflow obstruction if an 

unsupervised infant rolls, moves, or is 

placed in a position where the infant’s 

nose and mouth are obstructed by the 

Podster. 

25. The Podster is defective because it 

is constructed of thick, soft padding that 

has a concave shape which can envelop 

an infant’s face and cause airflow 

obstruction if an unsupervised infant 

rolls, moves, or is placed in a position 

where the infant’s nose and mouth are 

obstructed by the Podster. 

26. The Podster is defective because it 

lacks rigid underlying components, 

which can impede the ability of an 

infant to self-rescue in the event that the 

infant rolls, moves, or is placed in a 

position where the infant’s nose and 

mouth are obstructed by the Podster. 

27. The Podster is defective because it 

facilitates an infant’s movement on the 

Podster, enhancing the risk that the 

infant’s nose and mouth will be 

obstructed by the Podster. 

28. The Podster is defective because it 

facilitates an infant’s movement off the 

Podster, enhancing the risk that the 

infant’s nose and mouth will be 

obstructed by another object in the 

infant’s environment, such as soft 

bedding. 

29. The design of the Podster allows 

infants to bend their knees and push off 

the raised edges of the Podster with 

their feet, allowing an infant to roll or 

move on or off the Podster. 

30. The Podster may allow an infant 

to roll, even if the infant is not able to 

roll on a flat surface, such as in a crib 

or bassinet. 

31. The Podster’s design also can lead 

to unsafe bedsharing where the infant 

sleeps in an adult bed with one or more 

adult caregivers. 

32. The Podster may be attractive to 

caregivers who wish to bedshare with 

an infant because it is soft and portable, 

and caregivers may believe that the 

product’s high sides will act as a 

sufficient barrier between the adult and 

the infant to keep the infant secure in 

the Podster. 

33. Bedsharing with an infant in a 

Podster can result in an infant moving 

into a compromised position within the 

Podster and suffocating, or moving 

outside the Podster and suffocating on 

another person or object, such as soft 

bedding or the adult bed. 

34. If an infant rolls, moves, or is 

placed in a position where the infant’s 

nose and mouth are obstructed by the 

Podster or another object, such as soft 

bedding, the infant can suffocate and 

die in three to 10 minutes. 

Fatal Incidents Caused by the Podsters 

35. The Podster’s defects have led to 

the deaths of at least two infants. 

36. Upon information and belief, on 

or about December 16, 2015, a 4-monthold infant suffocated after being placed 

face-up or on their side in the Podster 

in a crib. The infant was found facedown on the Podster and later died of 

complications from asphyxia. 

37. Upon information and belief, on 

or about January 27, 2018, a 17-day-old 

infant suffocated after being placed face 

up in the Podster on an adult bed 

between two caregivers. Upon 

information and belief, the infant had 

moved off the Podster onto the adult 

bed after one of the caregivers rolled 

onto the Podster and infant. 

The Substantial Risk of Injury Posed by 

the Podsters 

38. It is foreseeable that caregivers 

will use the Podster for infant sleep, 

despite the instructions and warnings. It 

is also foreseeable that caregivers will 

use the Podster without supervision. 

39. It is foreseeable that some 

caregivers will not place infants on their 

backs in the Podster. 

40. It is foreseeable that caregivers 

will place infants in Podsters and use 

the Podster for bedsharing in an adult 

bed. 

41. If an infant rolls, moves, or is 

placed in a position where the infant’s 

nose and mouth are obstructed by the 

Podster itself or by another object or 

person with whom the infant is 

bedsharing, the infant may not be able 

to self-rescue and can suffocate within 

minutes. 

42. Upon information and belief, at 

least two infants, members of a 

vulnerable population, have suffocated 

and died after being placed in the 

Podster for unsupervised sleep. 

Legal Authority Under the CPSA 

43. Under the CPSA, the Commission 

may order a firm to provide notice to the 

public and take remedial action if the 

Commission determines that a product 

‘‘presents a substantial product hazard.’’ 

15 U.S.C. 2064(c) and (d). 

44. Under CPSA Section 15(a)(2), a 

‘‘substantial product hazard’’ is ‘‘a 

product defect which (because of the 

pattern of defect, the number of 

defective products distributed in 

commerce, the severity of the risk, or 

otherwise) creates a substantial risk of 

injury to the public.’’ 15 U.S.C. 

2064(a)(2). 

45. A product may contain a design 

defect even if it is manufactured exactly 

in accordance with its design and 

specifications if the design presents a 

risk of injury to the public. See 16 CFR 

1115.4. 

46. A defect can also occur in a 

product’s contents, construction, finish, 

packaging, warnings, or instructions. 

47. In assessing whether a product 

contains a defect, the Commission may 

consider a consumer’s foreseeable use or 

misuse of the product. See 16 CFR 

1115.4. 

Count I 

The Podsters are a Substantial Product 

Hazard Because They Contain Defects 

That Create a Substantial Risk of Injury 

to the Public 

48. Paragraphs 1 through 47 are 

hereby realleged and incorporated by 

reference as if fully set forth herein. 

49. The Podsters are consumer 

products. 

50. The Podsters contain defects 

because it is foreseeable that caregivers 

will use the product for infant sleep and 

it is foreseeable that caregivers will 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
8806 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 32 / Wednesday, February 16, 2022 / Notices 

leave infants unattended in the product, 

and: 

a. The Podster can cause airflow 

obstruction leading to suffocation if an 

infant rolls, moves, or is placed in a 

position where their nose and mouth are 

obstructed by the Podster; 

b. The design of the Podster prevents 

infants from self-rescuing once their 

nose and mouth are obstructed by the 

Podster; 

c. The design of the Podster facilitates 

infant movement on the Podster, which 

can result in an infant’s nose and mouth 

becoming obstructed by the Podster; 

d. The design of the Podster facilitates 

movement off the Podster, which can 

result in an infant’s nose and mouth 

being obstructed by another object in 

the infant’s environment, such as soft 

bedding; and 

e. The design of the Podster may lead 

to it being used for bedsharing, which 

can facilitate an infant’s rolling off the 

product onto an adult bed, leading to 

the infant’s nose and mouth being 

obstructed by another object or an 

individual sleeping in the bed. 

51. These defects separately, and in 

combination, create a substantial risk of 

injury to infants because of the pattern 

of defect, the number of defective 

products distributed in commerce, the 

severity of the risk, or otherwise. 

52. Therefore, the Podsters present a 

substantial product hazard within the 

meaning of Section 15(a)(2) of the 

CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2064(a)(2). 

Relief Sought 

Wherefore, in the public interest, 

Complaint Counsel requests that the 

Commission: 

A. Determine that the Podsters 

present a ‘‘substantial product hazard’’ 

within the meaning of Section 15(a)(2)

B. Determine that extensive and 

effective public notification under 

Section 15(c) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 

2064(c), is required to adequately 

protect the public from the substantial 

product hazard presented by the 

Podsters, and order Respondent under 

Section 15(c) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 

2064(c), to: 

(1) Notify all persons who sell or 

distribute the Podsters, or to whom such 

Podsters have been sold or distributed, 

to immediately cease distribution of the 

Podsters; 

(2) Notify appropriate state and local 

public health officials; 

(3) Give prompt public notice of the

which Respondent has a presence, and 

provide further announcements in 

languages other than English and on 

radio, television, and social media; 

(4) Mail and email notice to each 

distributor and retailer, of the Podsters; 

and 

(5) Mail and email notice to every 

person to whom the Podsters were 

delivered or sold. 

C. Determine that action under 

Section 15(d) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 

2064(d), is in the public interest and 

additionally order Respondent to: 

(1) Refund the purchase price of the 

Podster; 

(2) Reimburse distributors, retailers, 

and any other third parties for expenses 

in connection with carrying out any 

Commission Order issued in this matter, 

as provided by Section 15(e)(2) of the 

CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2064(e)(2); 

(3) Submit a plan satisfactory to the 

Commission, within ten (10) days of

to comply with Paragraphs B(1) through 

(5), C(1) through (4), above, and supply 

these records to the Commission for the 

purpose of monitoring compliance with 

the Final Order; and 

(6) For a period of five (5) years after 

issuance of the Final Order in this 

matter, notify the Commission at least 

sixty (60) days prior to any change in its 

business (such as incorporation, 

dissolution, assignment, sale, or petition 

for bankruptcy) that results in, or is 

intended to result in, the emergence of 

a successor corporation, going out of 

business, or any other change that might 

affect compliance obligations under a 

Final Order issued by the Commission 

in this matter. 

D. Order that Respondent take other 

and further actions as the Commission 

deems necessary to protect the public 

health and safety and to comply with 

the CPSA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 10, 2021, CPSC published a 

notice in the Federal Register to 

announce the agency’s intention to seek 

extension of approval of the collection 

of information. 86 FR 70475. The 

Commission received no comments. 

Accordingly, CPSC seeks renewal 

approval for the following collection of 

information: 

Title: Notification Requirements for 

Coal and Wood Burning Appliances. 

OMB Number: 3041–0040. 

Type of Review: Renewal of 

collection. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Affected Public: Manufacturers and 

importers of coal and wood burning 

appliances. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

An estimated five submissions annually. 

Estimated Time per Response: Three 

hours per submission and 30 minutes 

for collecting and mailing the 

information to the CPSC. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden: 17.5 

hours (5 submissions × 3.5 hours). 

Total Estimated Annual Cost to 

Respondents: $1,238, based on an 

average total hourly employee 

compensation rate of $70.73 for 

management, professional, and related 

occupations (Bureau of Labor Statistics: 

Total compensation rates for 

management, professional, and related 

occupations in private goods-producing 

industries, Table 4, March 2021) (17.5 

hours × $70.73). 

General Description of Collection: 16 

CFR part 1406, Coal and Wood Burning 

Appliances—Notification of 

Performance and Technical Data 

requires that manufacturers and 

importers provide consumers with 

written notification regarding certain 

technical and performance information 

related to safety on each coal and wood 

burning appliance. Manufacturers are 

also required to provide to the CPSC a 

copy of the notification to consumers 

and an explanation of all clearance 

distances contained in the notification. 

For existing models, all known 

manufacturers are believed to have 

already satisfied the requirements. 

Accordingly, there is no new burden 

associated with the requirements of 16 

CFR part 1406, except in cases where 

existing models are changed, or new 

models are introduced. Fewer than five 

submissions are estimated annually 

from new stove models coming into the 

market, or new firms entering the 

market.
