Federal warning issued after more infant deaths linked to recalled Boppy loungers.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has warned parents and caregivers to stop using Boppy Newborn Loungers after two more infants died following a mass recall of the product in 2021. The recalled products made by The Boppy Company include Boppy Original Newborn Loungers, Boppy Preferred Newborn Loungers, and Pottery Barn Kids Boppy Newborn Loungers. More than 3 million Newborn Loungers were recalled in September 2021 after eight infants died as a result of using the product. The CPSC warned that the loungers posed a risk of suffocation if infants rolled, moved, or were placed on the lounger in a position that obstructed breathing.
