Kids II recalls 700,000 baby sleepers including Ingenuity, Bright Starts, Disney brands
Kids II announced Friday that it is recalling nearly 700,000 inclined baby sleepers sold under a variety of different brand names and models after reports of five infants dying.
The recall comes two weeks after Fisher-Price issued a voluntary recall of 4.7 million Rock 'n Play sleepers that have been tied to at least 30 deaths.
"Since the 2012 product introduction, five infant fatalities have occurred in the Kids II Rocking Sleepers, after the infants rolled from their back to their stomach while unrestrained, or under other circumstances," according to the recall notice posted on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website.
The Kids II sleepers were sold at major retailers including Walmart, Target and Toys R Us and online from March 2012 through April 26 for approximately $40 to $80. The recalled sleepers were sold under Ingenuity, Bright Starts, Disney Baby and DreamComfort brands.
Some products were previously discontinued and not being sold in stores including Bright Starts and Disney Baby sleepers.

Consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact Kids II for a refund or voucher.
The Kids II recall also comes after a Consumer Reports investigation found at least 30 deaths with Fisher-Price Rock 'n Play. The magazine reported four deaths tied to Kids II products in an April 11 report.
“How many times will we see government and industry move too slow to prevent unnecessary tragedy?" said Marta Tellado, Consumer Reports president and CEO, in a statement Friday. "When products are linked to deaths, it is inexcusable to not inform the public immediately.”
For more information, consumers can call Kids II 1-866-869-7954 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit www.kids2.com/recalls.
