Other Recalled Graco Products
Little Lounger Rocking Seat
On January 29, Graco recalled more than 113,000 Little Lounger Rocking Seats.
They were sold nationwide at Target, Babies R Us, and other stores from 2013 through 2018, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Though no injuries have been reported from this specific product, infant fatalities have been reported with other manufacturers’ inclined sleep products.
Care Station Playard
Graco’s care station playard has not been officially recalled by the manufacturer.
Although, a House of Representatives committee is asking Graco to consider recalling the product, citing dozens of infant deaths that have been tied to inclined sleepers.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), chairwoman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, questioned the “safety and design” of Graco’s care station playard, among other baby sleeper products.
What to Do If Your Child Suffered Injuries from Graco Pack ‘n Play
If you happened to have purchased or were given a Graco Pack ‘n Play inclined sleeper you should exchange the product for a refund.
No injuries or deaths have been reported yet, but Graco’s recalled inclined sleepers are very similar in design and function to other extremely dangerous products.
Additionally, if your child has suffered an injury due to this use of any of the aforementioned recalled products, you may be eligible for compensation through a Graco Pack ‘n Play lawsuit.
Here is what you should do immediately following any injuries suffered from these dangerous products:
Report Injuries
First and foremost, you should report any injuries, including anything from bruises to asphyxia, to the CSPC for documentation.
Make sure to preserve tangible evidence to support your claim in court.
Furthermore, being able to provide proof of an attempt at mitigation of the injuries suffered will strengthen a potential Graco Pack ‘n Play lawsuit.
