Fisher-Price Recalls about 800,000 Rock 'N Play Infant Sleepers for inspection.
Mold can develop between the removable seat cushion and the hard plastic frame of the sleeper when it remains wet/moist or is infrequently cleaned, posing a risk of exposure to mold to infants sleeping in the product.
The sleeper is designed for babies up to 25 pounds and is composed of a soft plastic seat held by a metal rocking frame. The product has a removable, fabric cover that is sold in 14 patterns and color palettes.
They were sold at Mass merchandise stores nationwide and online since September 2009 for between $50 and $85.
Units currently in retail stores are not affected by this recall to inspect.
Consumers should immediately check for mold under the removable seat cushion.
Dark brown, gray or black spots can indicate the presence of mold. If mold is found, consumers should immediately stop using the product.
Consumers can contact Fisher-Price for cleaning instructions or further assistance.
For more information call (800) 432-5437, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at www.service.mattel.com
