The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a warning to parents of infants that Fisher-Price’s rockers are unfit for sleeping and have been associated with 13 infant deaths over the past 12 years.

On Tuesday, the CPSC released a warning concerning two Fisher-Price products, the company’s Newborn-to-Toddler Rocker and Infant-to-Toddler Rocker, claiming that these rockers with their inclined surfaces are a liability to the safety of infants. The commission referred to at least 13 reported infant deaths in these products between 2009 and 2021.
