The Boppy Newborn Lounger, a popular baby pillow that was recalled two years ago, has now been linked to at least 10 infant deaths since 2015.
In September 2021, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled nearly 3.3 million newborn loungers after eight infants reportedly suffocated after being placed in a lounger on either their back, side or stomach.
The eight deaths were reported between December 2015 and June 2020.

..."The Boppy Co. and the commission are urging consumers to stop using the loungers and asking online marketplaces, such as Facebook Marketplace, to crack down on attempts to sell the pillows secondhand.

In the original recall notice, Boppy noted that the lounger "was not marketed as an infant sleep product and includes warnings against unsupervised use."
The company said in a previous statement it is dedicated to "doing everything possible to safeguard babies," including educating parents on the importance of warnings and instructions associated with unsafe sleep practices for infants.
The loungers, sold in stores from January 2004 to September 2021, were distributed in the U.S. and Canada by retailers including Amazon, Pottery Barn Kids, Target and Walmart.
Parents should stop using the loungers immediately and contact Boppy for a full refund, the CPSC said."
