What’s the Problem?
The Chicco Lullaby Playard is marketed as an all-in-one Folding Napper, Bassinet, Playard, and Changing Station. However, the included Newborn Lounger insert has been linked to infant suffocation deaths.
This inclined sleeping position can cause an infant’s head to fall forward, restricting airflow and increasing the risk of suffocation.
One tragic case involved Cayson Minnich, a 3-month-old from Pennsylvania, who was placed in the Newborn Lounger for a nap. His father returned 30 minutes later to find him unresponsive. Despite emergency efforts, doctors could not revive him.
Unsafe History of Inclined Sleepers:
- 2019: Fisher-Price recalled 5 million Rock ‘n Play Sleepers (linked to at least 32 deaths).
- 2019: Kids II recalled 694,000 inclined sleepers after 5 deaths.
- 2019: Fisher-Price recalled 71,000 Ultra-Lite Day & Night Play Yard inclined sleepers.
- 2021: Boppy Company recalled 3 million loungers after at least 8 infant deaths.
Despite different brand names, all inclined sleepers have been found unsafe and go against American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations, which state that babies should only sleep on a flat, firm surface, on their backs, without soft bedding.
