Critical recall information: Please read and share

[Consumer Reports]   Dear Friend, Earlier this month, Consumer Reports broke a [story]( tying multiple recent infant deaths to Boppy products. On Thursday, the company finally [issued a recall]( of over 3 million of its newborn loungers due to suffocation hazards. This move comes almost a full year after a federal safety agency [warned the public]( about the risks of “pillow-like products,” sold by Boppy and other manufacturers. If you own a newborn lounger made by Boppy, please stop using it immediately (these are pictured below and are different from the c-shaped Boppy nursing pillows, which have not been recalled). You can [contact the company]( for a full refund. And if you have loved ones with babies, please share this information with them and urge them to notify other parents. By spreading the word, you could help save lives. [Please Read and Share] Last October, Consumer Reports identified 28 infant deaths that occurred between 2012 and 2018 tied to “pillow-like” infant products, including some from Boppy. And earlier this month, CR reported on seven additional recent deaths associated with Boppy products. We discovered these tragedies by examining data reported by the public to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the agency that oversees the safety of thousands of home goods. As CR analyzed the data, we identified several horrific incidents — [and we sounded the alarm.]( We rely on reports filed by people like you at [SaferProducts.gov]( to help root out hazardous products that should be taken off the market. While we firmly believe that the public should be alerted and products recalled as soon as they’re linked to injury or death, right now the laws are built to protect companies, not consumers. That’s why products like the Boppy newborn loungers — as well as others like the Fisher Price Rock n’ Play, which was linked to the deaths of over 100 infants — [are allowed to remain on the market long]( after safety issues come to light. We’re working hard to change those laws, but the fight to expand consumer protections is long and we need your help. [Will you share this recall information with your networks? We have to get these unsafe loungers out of homes immediately!]( ​[And if you’ve encountered any hazardous products, will you report them on SaferProducts.gov?]( We rely on reports by everyday people to monitor the marketplace, spot problems, and expose hazardous products before they harm more people. In the coming months, we’ll be sharing more ways to get involved to keep ALL consumers safe. We’re so glad you’re in this fight with us.
