NEW YORK - Fisher-Price recalled all of its 4.7 million Rock 'n Play sleepers on Friday , days after a group of paediatricians urged its parent company, Mattel, to stop selling the product amid reports linking it to multiple infant deaths.
The voluntary move by Fisher-Price was a reversal for the company, which issued a joint safety warning with the product safety commission last week after the commission said it was aware of 10 deaths since 2015 of children 3 months or older linked to the sleeper. In most cases, the children suffocated after rolling over in the sleeper from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained.
A separate investigation by Consumer Reports connected the cloth-covered cradle to 32 infant deaths from 2011 to 2018, including some involving children younger than 3 months. Democratic Representative Jan Schakowsky, the chairwoman of the House subcommittee focused on consumer protection, added to the outcry on Thursday, pushing Mattel to remove the sleeper from stores and websites, saying in a statement that"any delay continues to put more children's lives at risk".
