Despite high-profile recalls, baby products with design flaws linked to more than 100 infant deaths are still sold on Facebook Marketplace, a bipartisan group of four members of Congress said.

The products in question include Boppy Newborn Lounger pillow, which was recalled in 2021; and Fisher-Price’s Rock ‘n Play sleeper, which has been blamed for more than 100 baby deaths since 2009.
