Federal warning issued as Boppy lounger linked to multiple infant deaths

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has warned parents to stop using recalled Boppy newborn loungers, which have been linked to at least 10 infant deaths. The loungers may cause infants to suffocate if they roll, move, or are placed on the lounger in a position that obstructs breathing, or roll off the lounger onto an external surface. Although the loungers can no longer be sold legally, they have still been available online through social media sites. The CPSC and Boppy are recommending anyone with Boppy newborn loungers to stop using them immediately and request instructions on how to dispose of them and ask for a refund from The Boppy Company through their website. The CPSC also reminded parents to set up a safe sleep environment for children.
