Infant Deaths Have Fisher-Price Recalling Nearly 5 Million Rock’n Play Sleepers

Fisher-Price is recalling all models of Rock’n Play Sleepers after 32 infant fatalities occurred while using the product.  The fatalities occurred between 2011 and 2018 “after the infants rolled over while unrestrained, or under other circumstances,” according to the (CPSC) Consumer Product Safety Commission.  

The cloth-covered cradle became a staple in many households for sleep-deprived parents as it vibrated, played music and positioned the baby at an incline.   

It is alleged that Fisher- Price and the CPSC knew about the deaths and danger of this product for years and could have taken steps to prevent this tragedy from happening.  

Fisher-Price is offering full cash refunds for Rock’n Plays purchased in the last six months.  Sleepers bought before that are eligible for a cash voucher toward a new Fisher-Price product.

If your infant has suffered from injuries from a Fisher-Price Rock’n Play Sleeper, please call the experts at Inserra Kelley Sewell to see whether you might be entitled to compensation.  

NHTSA Launches Battery Investigation in Tesla Automobiles

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wrote a letter to Tesla last week, saying it is investigating fires in Model S and Model X cars built from 2012 to 2019.  The investigation will involve certain battery management system software updates. Tesla has until November 29, 2019, to respond to the NHTSA or it could face civil penalties up to $22,329 a day, up to a maximum of $111,642,265. 

On several occasions, Tesla batteries caught fire for no apparent reason.  The fires occurred both in parked and moving vehicles. Various reliable sources have indicated that Tesla should have recalled over 2,000 of their defective vehicles.

NTHSA encourages the public to contact the agency with safety concerns relating to Tesla Model S or Model X vehicles by calling 888-327-4236.  

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident involving a Tesla with a defective battery, please call the experts at Inserra Kelley Sewell to see whether you might be entitled to compensation.
