Two weeks after Fisher-Price recalled nearly five million Rock ‘n Play sleepers, Kids II has recalled 700,000 sleepers after five infant deaths over the last seven years.
Kids II said the rockers have been sold at Walmart, Target and Toys R Us since 2012.
The deaths in both sleepers occurred after infants rolled over from their backs to their stomachs or sides while unrestrained. The sleepers are soft padded cradles that rock or vibrate to help put babies to sleep.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Friday that anyone who bought the Kids II sleeper should stop using it right away. Consumers should call Kids II toll-free at 1-866-869-7954 8:00 a.m.to 5:00 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit www.kids2.com and click on “IMPORTANT RECALL INFORMATION” for more information.
