Los nidos para bebés retirados del mercado infringen los requisitos de seguridad de la Norma de seguridad para productos de dormir para bebés de la CPSC, ya que suponen un riesgo de asfixia y de caída y atrapamiento para los bebés. Las fallas incluyen no tener un soporte y no cumplir con los requisitos de altura lateral, grosor de la almohadilla para dormir y aberturas laterales de tela. Los lados del producto son más cortos que el límite mínimo de altura lateral; el grosor de la almohadilla para dormir supera el límite máximo; y un bebé podría caerse de una abertura cerrada a los pies de la tumbona o quedar atrapado.
Además, los diseños de los nidos para bebés con almohadas para la cabeza infringen la prohibición de las camas inclinadas para bebés de la Ley de Sueño Seguro para los Bebés de 2021 porque sus superficies para dormir están inclinadas más de diez grados. Hubo muertes de bebés en camas inclinadas como consecuencia de que los bebés se voltearon de estar boca arriba a yacer sobre su estómago o lado sin ninguna sujeción, o en otras circunstancias.
