The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Fisher-Price revealed Friday that they were remembering two products for kids after reports of a minimum of 4 baby deaths. In a news release, officials said they were recalling the Fisher-Price 4-in-1 Rock n Glide Soother and the 2-in-1 Soothe n Play Glider, and prompted customers to stop utilizing them right away. 4 babies– varying from 11 weeks to four months old– died between April 2019 and February 2020 while utilizing the soother. According to the CPSC, there have actually been no deaths in the 2-in-1 Soothe n Play Glider. The children were put on their backs unrestrained in the soother and later discovered on their stomachs, the commission said. “These kinds of occurrences are heart-breaking,” stated acting CPSC chairman Robert Adler. “Loving parents put their children in these items never ever anticipating a disaster. Inclined products, such as gliders, soothers, swings and rockers are not safe for baby sleep, due to the risk of suffocation.”
According to the CPSC, the safest method for infants to sleep is on their backs in a baby crib, bassinet or play lawn without the addition of any blankets or pillows. Separately, the commission announced Wednesday that it had approved a brand-new federal safety standard for items that are developed or marketed particularly for baby sleep.
In 2019, the New York-based producer of toys and items for children remembered about 4.7 million of its Rock n Play child sleepers after reports of more than 30 infant deaths tied to the item over the previous decade. “This is a long-standing issue of ours with items like this that kind of blur the line between asleep and awake,” said Nancy Cowles, executive director of Kids in Danger, a nonprofit that supporters for the safety of products for kids. “There is nothing more important to Fisher-Price than the safety of our products and the trust that households put in us,” Scothon said.
