BALTIMORE, MD—Fisher-Price is re-announcing the recall of 4.7 million infant sleepers after additional deaths were reported since the original recall.
The company is recalling all models of Rock ‘n Play Sleepers. Infant fatalities have occurred in these sleepers after the infants rolled from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained, or under other circumstances.
On April 12, 2019, at the time the original recall was announced, over 30 fatalities were reported to have occurred in the Rock ‘n Play Sleepers. Since the recall, approximately 70 additional fatalities have been reported, which includes at least 8 fatalities that were reported to have occurred after the initial recall announcement. Approximately 100 deaths have reportedly occurred while infants were in the products. Fisher-Price notes that in some of the reports, it has been unable to confirm the circumstances of the incidents or that the product was a Rock ‘n Play Sleeper.
Consumers should stop using the Rock ‘n Play immediately and contact Fisher-Price for a refund or voucher. It is illegal to sell or distribute the recalled sleepers.
The sleepers were sold at major stores nationwide including Walmart, Target, and online at Amazon from September 2009 through April 2019 for between $40 and $149.
The products were manufactured in China.
