The CPSC is calling on Meta to do more to get a recalled baby product removed from Facebook Marketplace.
Alexander Hoehn-Saric, chair of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, sent letters Wednesday to Meta, the parent company of Facebook, and Mattel, the maker of the, calling on the companies to do more to make sure the sleeper, recalled since 2019, is not used by consumers.
In the letters, Hoehn-Saric said his agency has found that hundreds of recalled Rock 'n Play sleepers are sold every month on Facebook Marketplace and other secondhand sites.in 2019 after 30 children were reported to have died after they were placed in a sleeper and "rolled from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained, or under other circumstances," according to the agency.
The recall applied to approximately 4.7 million sleeper products, many of which were sold between 2009 and 2019 at major retailers such as Target and Walmart and online on e-commerce sites like Amazon.that the majority of secondhand listings for Rock 'n Play sleepers are found on Facebook Marketplace.
"While CPSC staff informs me that Facebook Marketplace is responsive and moves quickly to remove listings that CPSC flags for Meta, CPSC should not be finding many illegal offers of life-threatening products on your platform," Hoehn-Saric wrote. "Moreover, at best, CPSC is catching these unlawful products after they have been listed for sale and made available to the public; we do not know how many illegal sales occurred that we did not identify.
He continued, "Facebook is uniquely positioned to identify recalled and violative products like the Rock 'n Play and stop their sale before they are listed. This would guarantee that these dangerous products are not sold, and further tragedies are averted."
