UPDATE: Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play Officially Recalled

Here’s a quick update to our product warning from last week. The Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play sleeper has now been officially recalled. Previously, the product had been linked to the deaths of 10 infants. Both the government and Fisher-Price issued an urgent product warning for concerned parents last week.

During that time, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) had been fully investigating the product. As of yesterday, more than a whopping 30 deaths have now been linked to the Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play since 2009. In response, the company has officially recalled the product.
