The US Consumer Product Safety Commission urged customers to stop using the Rock ’n Play sleeper “immediately” following reports of more than 30 fatalities over a decade. Fisher-Price last week warned parents to stop using the sleeper once their child was three months old – the age at which babies typically begin to roll over – but the American Academy of Pediatrics called for the sleeper’s complete withdrawal. Tragically, that is not the case.” Fisher-Price said it stood by “the safety of all of our products” but was recalling the sleeper “given the reported incidents in which the product was used contrary to safety warnings and instructions”. Kids II said in each of the “tragic and heartbreaking” cases involving its Ingenuity Moonlight Rocking Sleeper “there were either extenuating circumstances not relating to the sleep product or a failure to follow instructions and warnings”.
