Boppy Newborn Lounger Safety Recall

Boppy Lounger Recall

8 Infant Suffocation (asphyxia) Deaths have been reported in association with Boppy Newborn Loungers. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently announced the recall of about 3.3 million Boppy Original Newborn Loungers, Boppy Preferred Newborn Loungers, and Pottery Barn Kids Boppy Newborn Loungers.

The Newborn Loungers were sold from January 2004 through September 2021 at stores nationwide, including Pottery Barn Kids, Target, Walmart, and online at Amazon.com. The loungers pose a risk of suffocation to infants. The Boppy Loungers are an unsafe sleep environment for infants. If an infant rolls, moves, or is placed in a position that obstructs breathing–or rolls off the lounger onto a pillow or soft bedding that obstructs breathing—the infant could suffocate and die.

The mandatory safety recall illustrates growing alarm from regulators over the suffocation risks found in an expanding range of baby products. The CPSC recently required all infant sleep products meet federal safety standards by the middle of 2022, closing loopholes that permitted some potentially dangerous sleep surfaces to be sold.
