As of November 11, the company still has multiple colorways posted for sale, but notes in the descriptions that the products were manufactured prior to June 22, 2022. The company was warned in June to stop importing the product, but continued to manufacture them after the deadline. The warning applies to products manufactured after June 23, 2022. The rule states that in addition to not having an inclined surface greater than 10 degrees, flat products such as the DockATot Deluxe+ Dock, must have a stand, meet stability requirements, and have a side height of 7.5 inches. On November 9, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a violation notice to DockATot for failing to comply with the new Infant Sleep Product rule that went into effect on June 23, 2022. But as of Wednesday, it’s not in the way the brand had hoped. The Consumer Federation of America (CFA) is an association of non-profit consumer organizations that was established in 1968 to advance the consumer interest through research, advocacy, and education.DockATot’s website says the product is turning heads. The CPSC issued a warning against Leachco loungers earlier this year after two reported deaths.įounded in 1998, Kids In Danger (KID) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children by fighting for product safety. Last year, Boppy recalled 3.3 million loungers due to suffocation risk after eight reported child deaths. KID and CFA call on DockATot and the CPSC to immediately recall the loungers to prevent child injuries, and for the CPSC to recall all hazardous infant loungers.

Other products such as crib bumper pads, pillows, blankets, or other products should not be in the sleep environment. “Manufacturers must comply with the rule and those that do not should face, not only the legal consequences for non compliance, but also the responsibility of removing these products from the market.”īabies sleep safest on their back, and on a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet or play yard that meets a federal standard, with only a fitted sheet. ”The CPSC’s enforcement of the Infant Sleep Product Rule is incredibly important to protecting babies as they sleep,” stated Rachel Weintraub, legislative director and general counsel with Consumer Federation of America. Parents shouldn’t be fooled by a change in nomenclature from sleeper to lounger.” “The very dangers products like these pose are the reason for the Infant Sleep Product Rule. “Products that don’t meet the CPSC’s Infant Sleep Product Rule but encourage parents to use them as loungers or for naps should not be available,” stated Nancy Cowles, Executive Director of Kids In Danger. pointed to reports of deaths in DockATot’s product in in his statement.
Consumers should not buy or use these products, and should immediately dispose of them rather than donating or reselling. KID and CFA believe that no infant lounger should be allowed for sale regardless of manufacture date and they should be removed from homes due to suffocation hazard. The agency found that the company imported the infant sleep product that was manufactured after June 23, 2022, and therefore fails to comply with the mandatory requirements of the ISP Rule. The DockATot lounger violates the CPSC’s new Infant Sleep Product (ISP) Rule which went into effect June 23, 2022.
