100 Infant Deaths Lead To Recall Of Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play Sleeper
Almost 5 million Rock ‘n Play Sleepers have been recalled after approximately 100 infants have reportedly died in sleepers-related incidents.
The product was initially recalled in 2019 after 30 infants were reported to have died in the sleeper, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Since the initial recall, 70 more deaths have been reported, eight of which occurred after the recall.
Fisher-Price re-announced the recall on Monday, Jan. 9, possibly due to many of the products remaining in people's homes, according to Consumer Reports.
The reported deaths occurred when babies rolled from their back to their stomach or side when not restrained.
