CD234: AWOL Recall: The Rock and Play Sleeper (Full Podcast Episode)

In 2009, Mattel’s Fisher-Price started selling the Rock and Play Sleeper, a recklessly designed baby bed. During the ten years that it was sold to parents around the world, dozens of babies died and thousands were injured due to the design of the Rock and Play Sleeper. In this episode, learn the results of a congressional investigation into how the Rock and Play Sleeper was invented, why Mattel and Fisher-Price refused to recall their their dangerous but profitable product, what the government did – or didn’t do – about it, and why we desperately need Congress to change to our product safety laws as soon as possible.
