Fisher-Price is accused of keeping its once popular Rock 'n Play inclined baby sleeper on the market for a decade despite the company's knowledge of safety concerns and infant deaths, a new congressional report finds.
A Fisher-Price spokesperson disputed the report's claim, saying in an emailed statement Tuesday that the Rock 'n Play was designed and developed"following extensive research, medical advice, safety analysis, and more than a year of testing and review." The report said that the doctor was later accused by the Texas Medical Board of practicing without a license and"using unsafe practices."
"The company never completed any research establishing that it was safe for infants to sleep at an angle before bringing the product to market," the committee wrote.
