All models of Rock ’n Play Sleepers by Fisher-Price are being recalled after reports of infant fatalities occurring while using the product.
More than 30 infant fatalities have been reported since the product was introduced in 2009, “after the infants rolled over while unrestrained, or under other circumstances,” according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recall came three days after the American Academy of Pediatrics wrote a news release calling on the commission to recall the products, pointing to their danger. Last week, the safety commission and Fisher-Price asked consumers to stop using the sleeper after an infant reaches three months of age, “or is capable of rolling over.”
Between 2011 and 2018, 32 babies have died, “included babies even younger than the 3-month threshold cited in the initial warning, which is alarming,” the AAP noted in its release.
