USA: after the death of 30 babies, they remove a cradle model

Fisher-Price will be reminding the market of nearly 5 million bedpan beds after more than 30 babies have turned over and died within 10 years.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has stated that anyone who has purchased a Fisher Price Rock & # 39; n Play cradle should stop using it immediately and contact Fisher-Price to receive a refund or coupon .

Fisher-Price and the CPSC reported that the deaths occurred after the babies lay on their stomachs or sideways. They did not have the cradle belts placed.

In an article published this week, Consumer Reports magazine reports that some of the infants died of suffocation.

A warning was issued last week, but the American Academy of Pediatrics urged Fisher-Price and the CPSC to remove the chairs, which he termed "deadly".

In a statement released Friday, Fisher-Price said it was defending the safety of its products and issuing the voluntary recall "due to reported incidents in which the product had been used contrary to warnings and safety instructions."

The recall concerns about 4.7 million chairs sold between $ 40 and $ 149 since 2009.
