WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Fisher-Price issued a voluntary recall of a product linked to the deaths of more than 30 infants since 2009.
The CPSC said the recall involved 4.7 million Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play Sleepers. The agency said infants have died after rolling from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained or under other circumstances.
