New findings from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform into infant inclined sleepers finds that Fisher-Price failed to ensure its Rock 'n Play was safe, and ignored warnings it was dangerous.
calls out Fisher-Price and its parent company Mattel for selling what investigators called a dangerous product, despite clear evidence it put infants at risk of serious harm or death.
The committee's report, obtained exclusively by CBS News, says "Fisher-Price failed to ensure the Rock 'n Play was safe before bringing it to market" and "ignored critical warnings...that the product was dangerous..." Now the report finds when the product was launched in 2009, "there was no independent research, or even internal company research, showing that it was safe for babies to sleep at an angle.""The fact that that there was no due diligence done in talking to experts, to even understanding what safe sleep was and how the inclined sleeper product operated completely counter to what we know safe sleep to be," he said.
One staffer wrote in an email, "Holy cow! We need to discuss this. When the Commission sees this they are going to flip."
