Plain-English summary

These products feature two use modes: a powered glider seat and an infant rocker, both of which can move in a head-to-toe or side-to-side motion.

The recall was initiated after reports of four infant deaths associated with the 4-in-1 Rock 'n Glide Soother. In these incidents, infants were reportedly placed on their backs unrestrained in the product and later found on their stomachs, posing a risk of suffocation. The fatalities occurred between April 2019 and February 2020 and involved infants aged 2 to 4 months from Missouri, Nevada, Michigan, and Colorado. No fatalities have been reported for the 2-in-1 Soothe 'n Play Gliders.

The products were sold at juvenile product stores and mass merchandisers nationwide and online, including Walmart, Target, and Amazon.com. The 4-in-1 Rock 'n Glide Soothers were sold from January 2014 through December 2020 for about $108, while the 2-in-1 Soothe 'n Play Gliders were sold from November 2018 through May 2021 for about $125. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and contact Fisher-Price online or by phone to request a refund.
