The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Fisher-Price are warning consumers that rockers should never be used for sleep for your little one.
The specific rockers involved in the warning are Fisher-Price’s Infant-to-Toddler and Newborn-to-Toddler Rockers. Sadly, these rockers have been linked to at least 13 infant deaths from 2009 to 2021.
While these rockers have not been recalled, the warning reminds parents that rockers (as well as swings and bouncers) should never be used as a sleep space due to suffocation risk. Rather, rockers can be helpful spaces for your baby to stay put when you need your hands free. Babies should always be carefully supervised and restrained while in rockers, too, and moved to a safe sleep space if she dozes off.
Inclined products like rockers, swings and soothers are dangerous sleep set-ups for babies, since they can fall asleep in a position that restricts their airways or roll out of the devices and become trapped, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
The rule goes into effect June 23, at which point, all products that don't meet this rule will be recalled. As a reminder, since Fisher-Price's Infant-to-Toddler and Newborn-to-Toddler Rockers aren't intended for sleep, they will not be recalled at this time.
While you can still use your rocker, make sure that you do so when your baby is awake — never as a place to snooze. Remember to always supervise and buckle in your little one while you’re using a rocker, too, and transfer your baby to a safe sleep space if she falls asleep.
As a reminder, when it comes to safe sleep:
