Kids II Rocking Sleeper Recall Lawsuit

The CPSC announced that a new study confirms babies should sleep on a recommended firm, flat surfaces.

The CPSC has so far received 1,108 incident reports related to inclined sleeping products that occurred between January 2005 and June 2019. Unfortunately, this number includes 73 infant deaths.

The agency hired a mechanical engineer who specializes in biomechanics as an independent expert to conduct the study. Erin Mannen, Ph.D. works in this area at the Medical Sciences division of the University of Arkansas.

Dr. Mannen conducted infant testing in order to evaluate the design of inclined sleeping products. They performed the study by measuring muscle movements and oxygen saturation with infants who were placed in a variety of products and positions; flat crib, inclined crib, and several other inclined sleep products.

None of the inclined products tested safe for infant sleep. The report concludes that products with inclines of 10 degrees or less, that are on flat and rigid surfaces, are most likely the safest for infant sleep. Additionally, plush-like sleeping surfaces pose a danger to infants.

Kids II Inc., based out of Atlanta, is recalling nearly 700,000 of its Rocking Sleeper line due to the occurrence of infant deaths in association with them.

In 2012, Kids II introduced a variety of its products meant for occupying infants and rocking them back and forth. Since then, the Rocking Sleepers have been the cause of five infant fatalities. The infants died from rolling from their back to their stomach while unrestrained in the device, or under other circumstances.

The Rocking Sleepers product line was featured in major retailers nationwide from March 2012 to April 26, 2019. Among those were Target, Toys “R” Us, and Walmart, as well as online retailers. The Rocking Sleepers cost anywhere from $40 to $80.

The Rocking Sleeper, pictured here, comes in a variety of models. Stop using immediately.

Some of the sleepers were sold under the names Ingenuity, Bright Starts, Disney Baby, or DreamComfort Brands. The Bright Starts and Disney Baby sleepers had already been discontinued and not currently sold in stores.

Ann Marie Buerkle, Acting Chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, issued a video announcement about the severity of the issue with the Rocking Sleepers. The video can be seen below. The CPSC recall notice can be found here.

“I’m urging parents to stop using this product immediately and to contact Kids II for a refund or a voucher,” she said.
