Fisher-Price hit with two class action lawsuits

A lawsuit claims East Aurora-based Fisher-Price knew the product was dangerous but kept selling millions of them.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — On the heels of a recall of its popular Rock 'n Play Sleeper, East Aurora-based Fisher-Price now faces a pair of class action lawsuits.

The suits were filed late last week and both seek a jury trial.

One of the suits charges Fisher-Price knew the infant sleeper was "defective and dangerous ... causing injury and death to children," but kept selling the products anyway.

Earlier this month, a Consumer Reports investigation linked the Rock 'n Play Sleeper to at least 32 infant and child deaths.

2 On Your Side reached out to Fisher-Price and its parent company, Mattel, about the class action suits. Neither has responded to our request for comment.
