Fisher-Price Rock Playback Recall: Class action lawsuit filed
Less than two weeks after Fisher-Price recalled its popular Rock & # 39; Play Play sleepers, two class action cases have been filed against Fisher-Price and its parent company, Mattel.
12. April Recall 4.7 Million Rock & # 39; n Play sleepers came a week after the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Fisher-Price issued a security warning that 10 babies died. Days after April 5, the consumer survey was linked to the product of over 30 infant deaths since 2009.
The first suit filed on April 1[ads1]8 by Samantha Drover-Mundy and Zachary Mundy in Delaware, said the recall did not come soon enough to save his 12-week daughter, as they say dead minutes after being placed in a Rock & Play's Play Sleeper in September.
"This recall was too late to save the lives of more than 30 infants and to avoid the damage of many other infants caused by the Rock & nbsp; Play," the trial said. "The Rock & nbsp; Play causes death or damage to infants because the defective design allows them to move into positions where they cannot breathe.
