Important Recall Notice: Stop Using Boppy Loungers Linked to Infant Deaths

Parents have been issued a crucial warning regarding the use of recalled Boppy newborn loungers, as they have been connected to at least 10 infant deaths.

The Boppy Company and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) have highlighted the risk of suffocation if infants roll, move, or are placed on the lounger in a way that obstructs breathing, or if they roll off the lounger onto an external surface. The affected products, including Boppy Original Newborn Loungers, Boppy Preferred Newborn Loungers, and Pottery Barn Kids Boppy Newborn Loungers, were initially recalled two years ago, but some have still been available for sale online.

The CPSC emphasizes the importance of creating a safe sleep environment for children, which involves using a firm and flat surface in a crib, bassinet, or play yard, placing babies on their backs for sleeping and avoiding soft items such as blankets and pillows.

Parents who own these recalled loungers should stop using them immediately and can seek disposal instructions and refunds through The Boppy Company’s website or by contacting their customer service. It is crucial to prioritize our children’s safety and spread awareness about this recall to prevent further harm.
