[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rock n plays were officially recalled and should no longer be used. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2019/fisher-price-recalls-rock-n-play-sleepers-due-to-reports-of-deaths[/quote]

To be clear, 30 deaths,  4.7 million RnPs. Assuming a 1to1 baby to RnP ratio (which must severely underestimate it) that is a .00064% chance of death. Lower than the rate of unexplained SIDS.[/quote]

What about more than half the deaths were after 2016? Or that there were an additional 700 injuries that just didn’t lead to quite death. https://www.cliffordlaw.com/controversial-fisher-price-sleep-bed-subject-of-at-least-30-infant-deaths/[/quote]

Give me the data on 700 injuries from someone other than am ambulance chasing law firm.

Your the only person I've seen claiming that half happened after 2016.[/quote]

The Wall Street Journal reported on 700 injuries and that 16 deaths happened after Sept 2016.

And here's description of the deaths from consumer reports and almost near deaths. Nothing to do with not following instructions or the child being above 3 months. But go on and defend this unsafe product.

The earliest death that CR uncovered occurred in 2011, with more in the years that followed. There is, for example, the mother in Hidalgo County, Texas, who placed her 2-month old daughter on her back for a night’s sleep on Oct. 19, 2013, according to a lawsuit filed by the family against Fisher-Price. At 4 a.m., when the mother checked, all was well, but by 7 a.m., the baby had stopped breathing. Her head was tilted to the side with her chin on her shoulder, compressing her airway. She was pronounced dead at the scene from positional asphyxia, or an inability to breathe caused by her position.

The most recent deaths CR found occurred in spring 2018—one involving a 1-month-old girl in Knoxville, Tenn., and the other a 9-day-old boy in Copperas Cove, Texas.

There have also been some close calls. In one, on July 25, 2014, a 7-week-old boy was placed in a Rock ’n Play Sleeper while his grandmother was in the room, according to a lawsuit filed against Fisher-Price that was ultimately dismissed.

The grandmother, Jan Hinson, of Greenville, S.C., says she looked at her grandson and saw he was “cocked over all the way, and he was blue and lifeless. It was absolutely awful.” She got the infant breathing again, and after a stay in the hospital, he was released.

Hinson, who is also a lawyer, is now representing a Virginia couple, Evan and Keenan Overton, whose son died while in a Rock ’n Play Sleeper.

A few days before Christmas in 2017, 5-month-old Ezra was asleep in the product while Keenan slept on a couch nearby. When Keenan woke in the middle of the night, he found Ezra on his stomach, unresponsive, and yelled for Evan to call 911. “He was blue, and his body was, it was hard, and he didn’t feel real,” Evan said. Ezra was pronounced dead at the hospital; “asphyxia” was listed as the immediate cause of death. (The Overtons say Ezra was buckled in the sleeper, though the death certificate states the baby was unrestrained.)
