The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Fisher-Price urged parents Tuesday not to let babies fall asleep in rockers, citing at least 13 reported deaths between 2009 and 2021.

"No inclined product, made by Fisher-Price or any other company, is safe for infant sleep," Richard Trumka, a commissioner of the CPSC, said in a statement.
