Everything You Need to Know about the Boppy Pillow Recall Lawsuit

Contact a Boppy Pillow Lawyer Today

​The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued the Boppy Pillow Recall for over 3 million baby lounger products after the manufacturer, The Boppy Company, received reports of infants suffocating while using their products. According to parents, the infants were placed in the product in a safe position, but the child fell asleep and rolled into a position that restricted their breathing. Baby loungers are infamous for their danger to sleeping children, and the Boppy Company’s products are no different, as the soft and plush nature provides the opposite of a safe sleeping environment.
If you or someone you know have lost their child due to a Boppy Company product or any other baby lounger, contact Boppy Pillow Lawyer Timothy L. Miles today for more information on how to fight back. Read on to learn more about the Boppy Pillow Recall Lawsuit.

Which Products Are Being Recalled?

​The Boppy Company has three different baby lounger products: 
 

• Boppy Original Newborn Lounger
• Boppy Preferred Newborn Lounger
• Pottery Barn Kids Newborn Lounger. 

 
All three of these products are being recalled from store shelves, as they pose a significant risk to any child that falls asleep during use. The Boppy Company knew of the danger after the first death occurred in 2015, but after 6 years, they made no change and caused 7 additional deaths.

According to the CPSC recall, the pillows on the affected products could be overstuffed and force an infant’s head into a position where breathing is difficult. The combination of the overstuffed cushion and the unsafe sleep environment of the product creates a very dangerous situation for any infant who falls asleep in the lounger. The Boppy Company claims that there are specific instructions to supervise a child who is using the product, but considering infants fall asleep sporadically and sometimes quickly, the product could have been designed in a safer way that doesn’t pose such a risk.

Why Are Baby Loungers Dangerous?

Product liability laws exist to protect consumers from the unfortunate consequences of a defective product. Any manufacturer that fails to adhere to the proper safety guidelines before selling their product is liable for the damage, and by teaming up with an experienced Boppy Pillow Lawyer who can advocate on your behalf.
 
Although the compensation from a lawsuit cannot change the past, it can help you recover from your situation and avoid financial strain.
