Fisher-Price says it is recalling a model of its baby soothers after the deaths of four infants who were placed on their backs unrestrained in the devices and later found on their stomachs.
In a joint statement with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Fisher-Price said Friday it is recalling its 4-in-1 Rock 'n Glide Soothers, which are designed to mimic the motion of a baby being rocked in someone's arms.
The fatalities between April 2019 and February 2020 were a four-month old from Missouri, a two-month old from Nevada, a two-month old from Michigan and an 11-week-old from Colorado, according to the statement.
Fisher-Price, a division of El Segundo, Calif.,-based Mattel Inc., is also recalling a similar product, the 2-in-1 Soothe 'n Play Glider, although there were no reported deaths connected to it.
"Inclined products, such as gliders, soothers, rockers and swings are not safe for infant sleep, due to the risk of suffocation," said Robert Adler, the CPSC's acting chairman.
