☆ Federal safety regulators propose major redesign of baby loungers
  + stars: | 2023-11-30 | by ( Parija Kavilanz | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
New York CNN —Federal consumer safety regulators are pushing ahead in their effort to make baby loungers safer by proposing a major redesign of the products, following 79 deaths connected with their use. Another recommended redesign is for the height of the infant support side cushions to not exceed two inches, again to reduce the risk of entrapment and suffocation. “Infant support cushions have fallen outside of the reach of both voluntary and mandatory safety standards. One of the Yoocaa baby loungers recalled in early November 2023. According to federal safety regulators, more than 80% of the deaths involved babies three-months old and younger.

Recalled baby products linked to more than 100 infant deaths are still widely sold on Facebook Marketplace despite thousands of requests from federal regulators to take down the items, four members of Congress said. Lawmakers wrote that the Consumer Product Safety Commission has sent Facebook parent Meta about 1,000 requests a month since 2022 to remove the recalled Boppy Newborn Lounger, but the product keeps cropping up for sale on the platform. In June, the CPSC's commissioners sent a letter to Zuckerberg calling on him to do more to prevent the sale of the recalled products. In the letter, the members of Congress asked for more information about Meta's product safety policies, how it monitors recalls and how many staff members are dedicated to consumer-product safety issues. But they did not accuse the companies of selling recalled products.

WASHINGTON — House lawmakers cited the continuing sale of recalled baby products linked to infant deaths on Meta 's Facebook in a round of letters to 17 companies questioning compliance with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission standards about the listing of unsafe products. Lawmakers on the House Energy and Commerce Committee said the CPSC has requested an average of about 1,000 takedowns per month to Meta for the Boppy Newborn Lounger, which was recalled in 2021. "Like other platforms where people can buy and sell goods, there are instances of people knowingly or unknowingly selling recalled goods on Marketplace," a spokesperson for Meta told CNBC. "We take this issue seriously and when we find listings that violate our rules, we remove them." Representatives for Amazon, Walmart and Target did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.

☆ Recalled Boppy baby pillow linked to 10 infant deaths still widely sold on Facebook Marketplace, regulators say

A recalled baby pillow that's now been linked to at least 10 infant deaths is still being widely sold on Facebook Marketplace, and federal regulators are calling on the company to do more to stop the sales. A series of newborn loungers from The Boppy Company were recalled in September 2021 after eight deaths were linked to the product. Sales of the recalled products — which include the Boppy Original Newborn Lounger, the Boppy Preferred Newborn Lounger and the Pottery Barn Kids Boppy Newborn Lounger — have been illegal for nearly two years. "Far too often, the CPSC has found [recalled] products listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace even after recall information has been provided to your company. By allowing such products to be posted, you are putting Facebook Marketplace users at risk."
