Fisher-Price recalls 4.7m baby sleepers after 'reported incidents of infant fatalities'

Toymaker Fisher-Price has recalled nearly five million Rock 'n Play Sleepers after reports in the US linking the product to the deaths of more than 30 babies.

In a statement, Fisher-Price owner Mattel confirmed the voluntary recall, but stood by the product's safety, saying customers had been warned not to use the sleeper once infants could roll over.
