Fisher-Price has recalled nearly five million infant sleepers in the United States after more than 30 babies died in them over a 10-year period. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said anyone who bought a Fisher-Price Rock 'n Play sleeper should stop using it right away and contact Fisher-Price for a refund or voucher. The sleepers, which are used to put babies to sleep, are soft-padded cradles that vibrate. A safety warning was issued last week, but the American Academy of Pediatrics urged Fisher-Price and the CPSC to recall the sleepers, calling them "deadly." Health Canada said Saturday that the Fisher Price Rock 'N Play Sleeper is "not permitted for sale in Canada."
