The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Fisher-Price are warning consumer’s about the company’s popular “Rock ‘n Play” sleeper.
At least 10 infants have died when they rolled over in the product. The CPSC says infants typically begin to rollover at around three months and that all 10 infants who have died since 2015 were 3 months or older.
The CPSC says on its website, “Because deaths continue to occur, CPSC is recommending consumers stop use of the product by three months of age, or as soon as an infant exhibits rollover capabilities. CPSC has previously warned consumers to use restraints in infant inclined sleep products.”
Fisher Price tells consumers to stop using the Rock ‘n Play after the child begins to start rolling over but the deaths slow that people continue to use the product as the child gets older and are not using the harness restraint properly.
The company says on its website, “To ensure a safe sleep environment for infants, we remind parents and caregivers to follow all safety warnings included with the product: always use the provided restraints, always place infants on their backs to sleep, and make sure that no pillows, blankets or extra padding are placed in the Rock ‘n Play Sleeper.”
Fisher Price adds the Rock ‘n Play meets all necessary safety standards.
