Plastic is a miracle substance. Like glass, plastic is waterproof and air tight, but plastic is flexible and much lighter than glass.Unfortunately, a thin film of plastic can also kill a child by suffocating him/her. Dozens of children (mostly infants) die every year because of plastic bags:Infants can roll over and get tangled in a thin bag like a dry cleaning bag left on a bed.Infants and toddlers can pull a bag over their heads and suffocate when they are unable to get them off.Sleeping infants can fall asleep next to a bag, roll over against it and suffocate.Dry cleaning bags, because they are large and extremely thin, are the most dangerous bags around the house. Garbage bags and thin plastic grocery bags are also dangerous around infants.There should be no plastic near an infant while he or she is sleeping. Even big, fluffy pillows and blankets can potentially suffocate an infant -- infants do not have the strength or awareness to get away from something once it covers the face.
