Summary

The Boppy Company is recalling approximately 3.3 million Original Newborn Loungers, Preferred Newborn Loungers, and Pottery Barn Kids Boppy Newborn Loungers sold nationwide between January 2004 and September 2021. These infant loungers, which measure roughly 23 by 22 inches, were sold at major retailers including Walmart, Target, and Amazon for $30 to $44. The recall was issued because infants can suffocate if they roll or are placed in a position that obstructs their breathing while on the lounger. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and contact The Boppy Company to receive a refund.

Risk

Infants can suffocate if they roll, move, or are placed on the lounger in a position that obstructs breathing, or roll off the lounger onto an external surface like an adult pillow or soft bedding. There have been eight reports of infant deaths associated with these loungers and the suffocation hazard.
