Cushioned baby loungers are tied to at least 26 infant deaths, an NBC News investigation found. That’s more than twice as many deaths as federal regulators have previously announced. While one popular cushion, the Boppy Newborn Lounger, was recalled in 2021, other similar loungers remain on the market, and officials delayed broader action. “It is infuriating, and it’s senseless,” said Megan Parker, whose 2-month-old daughter, Layla, died in a Boppy lounger in 2019. “I don’t understand why they wouldn’t push that information out there, knowing that there are more deaths that are not reported. It could save lives.” |
