The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Fisher-Price announced Friday that they were recalling two products for children after reports of at least four infant deaths.
In a press release, officials said they were recalling the Fisher-Price 4-in-1 Rock 'n Glide Soother and the 2-in-1 Soothe 'n Play Glider, and urged consumers to stop using them immediately.
Four infants — ranging from 11 weeks to four months old — died between April 2019 and February 2020 while using the soother. According to the CPSC, there have been no deaths in the 2-in-1 Soothe 'n Play Glider.
The children were placed on their backs unrestrained in the soother and later found on their stomachs, the commission said.
"These types of incidents are heart-breaking," said acting CPSC chairman Robert Adler. "Loving parents put their babies in these products never expecting a tragedy. Inclined products, such as gliders, soothers, rockers and swings are not safe for infant sleep, due to the risk of suffocation.
