Fisher Price Reannounces Recall of ‘Rock N’ Play’ Sleepers, Linked to 100 Baby Deaths

By Matis Glenn

Fisher Price has reannounced a recall of all its Rock N’ Play Sleepers, which have been linked to approximately 100 infant deaths.

The company produced 4.7 million of the sleepers from 2009 until recalling it 2019. The sleepers have been blamed for some 100 baby deaths “after the infants rolled from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained, or under other circumstances,” according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Eight of the deaths occurred after the announcement of the recall. (The Consumer Product Safety Commission page says that “Fisher-Price notes that in some of the reports, it has been unable to confirm the circumstances of the incidents or that the product was a Rock ‘n Play Sleeper.”)

Fisher Price reannounced the recall Monday, to remind anyone who still has the product not to use it, and to return it for a refund or voucher.

Consumers can get more information and instructions on how to return the product by visiting or www.mattel.com, clicking on “Recall & Safety,” and then clicking on the “Rock N’ Play” recall dated 04/12/2019; or by calling 866-812-6518 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
