Expert Statements

Kurt Workman, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Co-founder of Owlet

“Our mission at Owlet is to help parents keep their baby safe and healthy at home. I believe brands that have direct access to parents can play a vital role in helping keep babies safe through innovation, education, and advocacy. Babies shouldn’t pass away unexpectedly at home yet sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) remains the leading cause of postneonatal infant mortality in the US, and rates haven’t changed in over 30 years.* There is a clear gap between understanding, implementing, and upholding infant safety standards, and that is why we're launching this task force. Closing that gap requires a coordinated effort across industry leaders, providers, and families.”
