The dangers of these gliders or rockers aren’t limited to specific brands, but many inclined products. The CPSC states that no baby should be left unattended or allowed to sleep on inclined products. "We remain committed to educating parents and caregivers on the safe use of all of our products, including the importance of following all warnings and instructions to ensure the health and safety of babies and children.” They also urged consumers to call the company at 80 if they had concerns and to visit their Safe Start webpage for safety videos. “Consumers are reminded not to use Rockers for infant sleep, that infants should never be unsupervised or unrestrained in Rockers, and that bedding material should not be added to the product,” Fisher-Price said in the safety notice. The warning for the Fisher-Price Infant-to-Toddler and Newborn-to-Toddler Rockers is notably not a recall, but a safety notice to remind parents not to allow infants to sleep in the product. In addition to 2019’s massive recall of the Rock 'n Play that Trumka referred to, in 2021 Fisher-Price and the CPSC issued another recall for two of the company’s products - the 4-in-1 Rock ‘n Glide Soother and the 2-in-1 Soothe ‘n Play Glider - after four babies between the ages of 11 weeks and 4 months died between April 2019 and February 2020 while using the Glide Soother. Only a firm, flat surface is safe,” Trumka said, per the Washington Post. “No inclined product, made by Fisher-Price or any other company, is safe for infant sleep. Tragically, we now grieve 13 more infant deaths in Fisher-Price Rockers," CPSC commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. "Just three years ago, this agency oversaw the recall of the Fisher-Price Rock 'n Play after a staggering number of infant deaths. The safety warning urges parents to not use the Rockers for infant sleep, to not leave their kids alone when in the Rockers, and to not add extra material to the Rockers. The warning was issued after the use of the products was linked by the CPSC to at least 13 reported infant deaths that occurred between 20. On June 14, Fisher-Price and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a safety warning in regard to two infant products: the Fisher-Price Infant-to-Toddler Rockers and Newborn-to-Toddler Rockers.
