I understand that baby boxes are no longer allowed in the U.S. but I see a reference to a different product causing issues.

In my mind, they were just looking for an excuse not to support a new family, the U.S. is backwards that way

The whole baby sleeping in a box thing seems a little weird to me, but giving all new parents a starter pack of supplies sounds great. We could just distribute the supplies in a different shaped box if that was a concern we need to prevent.
But let's be real... US hospitals would try selling these care packages for a profit, when they should be free.
