Boppy Newborn Lounger Lawsuit
The Boppy Company has recalled more than 3.3 million Boppy Original Newborn Loungers, Boppy Preferred Newborn Loungers, and Pottery Barn Kids Newborn Lounger after at least eight (8) infant deaths were linked to the infant sleep product.The babies suffocated after being placed on their backs, sides or stomachs in the Boppy Newborn loungers and Pottery Barn Loungers. They were found dead on their sides or stomachs. According to reports, the infants’ deaths occurred between December 2015 and June 2020.
“These types of incidents are heartbreaking,” said U.S. Consumer Product Safety (CPSC) Acting Chairman Robert S. Adler. “Recalled loungers and Boppy pillow-like infant sleep products are not safe for infant sleep, due to the risk of suffocation. Since we know that infants sleep so much of the time – even in products not intended for sleep – and since the infant deaths associated can happen so quickly, these Boppy lounger products are simply too risky to remain on the market.”
