Fisher-Price "ignored critical warnings" about infant sleeper linked to more than 30 deaths, House report finds
CBSN
New findings from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform into infant inclined sleepers finds that Fisher-Price failed to ensure its Rock 'n Play was safe, and ignored warnings it was dangerous.
The Rock 'n Play had been on the market for about 10 years and linked to more than 30 infant deaths, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. These products were not regulated like cradles and bassinets. Before it was voluntarily recalled in 2019, 4.7 million Rock 'n Plays were sold.Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
