Staff members at the Consumer Product Safety Commission recommended new safety rules for infant rockers, saying the popular products were linked to 11 deaths from 2011 to 2022. Most of the deaths occurred while babies were sleeping. The reclined seats designed to soothe babies were also associated with 88 injuries over the same period.

The recommended safety rules, which were obtained by NBC News, aim to prevent infants from suffocating by making rockers firmer and flatter.
