[WASHINGTON] The American Academy of Pediatrics called on the US Consumer Product Safety Commission on Tuesday to issue a full recall of the"Fisher-Price Rock 'n Play Sleeper" infant rocker, which has been linked to 32 infant deaths, it said on its website."AAP urges all parents to stop using the product immediately," the pediatricians' association said in an announcement.
"This product is deadly and should be recalled immediately," said Kyle Yasuda, president of the pediatrician group.But the company said on its website that it voluntarily issued a joint alert with the CPSC on April 5, to"warn parents and caregivers to discontinue use of Rock 'n Play Sleeper when infants begin to roll over," or when the child turns three months old.
The company said it will continue to work with the Consumer Product Safety Commission."We cannot put any more children's lives at risk by keeping these dangerous products on the shelves," Rachel Moon, a doctor with the AAP said in the statement.
