The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Boppy Company are recalling over 3 million baby loungers after reports of eight infant deaths.

The infants' deaths, which occurred between December 2015 and June 2020 according to the CPSC, were linked to three newborn lounger models. The infants reportedly suffocated after being placed on their back, side or stomach on the lounger and were found on their side or on their stomach.“These types of incidents are heartbreaking,” said Acting Chairman Robert S. Adler. “Loungers and pillow-like products are not safe for infant sleep, due to the risk of suffocation.

A company spokesperson said that the lounger was "not marketed as an infant sleep product and includes warnings against unsupervised use."“Boppy is committed to doing everything possible to safeguard babies, including communicating the safe use of our products to parents and caregivers, and educating the public about the importance of following all warnings and instructions and the risks associated with unsafe sleep practices for infants," the spokesperson added.
