Fisher-Price Issues Recall Reminder of 4.7 Million Rock ’n Play Sleepers
Fisher-Price is reminding consumers of the Rock ‘n’ Play Sleeper recall issued in April 2019. At the time the original recall was announced, over 30 fatalities were reported to have occurred in the sleepers after infants rolled over while unrestrained, or under other circumstances.
The reannounced recall includes all models of Fisher-Price Rock n’ Play Sleepers and all models of Kids2 Rocking Sleepers as well.
Tragically, there have been approximately 70 additional fatalities reported since the original recall. This number includes at least eight fatalities that reportedly happened after the initial recall announcement.
Fisher-Price notes that it has been unable to confirm the circumstances of some incidents or that the product was indeed a Rock ‘n Play Sleeper in each incident.
The recalled sleepers were sold at major stores nationwide including Walmart, Target, and online at Amazon from September 2009 through April 2019 for $40 – $149. Consumers who still have one of the recalled sleepers in their possession should stop using it immediately and contact Fisher-Price for a refund or voucher.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission is also reminding consumers that it is illegal to sell or distribute the recalled sleepers. More information can be found at www.mattel.com or toll-free at 866-812-6518 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
Weren’t these already recalled or was that a different sleeper?
Yes. It seems this is a reminder. Hope that helps! 💖
Thank you, thank you! I have this for my grand babies and had no clue!
You’re welcome, Radtechie! Glad this post was helpful for you! ❤️
We were given one from a friend and I saw that they were recalled. It was easy to contact the company. We had to prove that we destroyed it with pictures and a by sending them a piece of it postage paid. They sent us a sit me up seat at no cost.
So glad to hear you had a good experience with contacting the company and getting a replacement item! Thanks for sharing how your recall experience was, Kcdia! ❤️
Oh my! We considered these one of the best baby items we had-my LO had reflux and it was the only way he could sleep due to incline. Granted, we had video monitor also, but my, I was so thankful for the one gift of the rock n play that gave us all more than 30min of sleep at a time!
I agree, I had C-sections and I couldn’t bend over those first few days/weeks to put my child in the crib. This was such a blessing to use! If used properly they are not a threat but people don’t want to take the time to strap them in properly (we’ve all been there).
