Urgent warning issued over baby's rockers sold to Irish parents that could cause strangulation

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission of Ireland has issued a warning to parents over a range of infant rockers due to safety concerns.

The CCPC says in its product safety notice that a safety issue has been identified with certain MamaRoo and RockaRoo Infant swings and rockers.

The affected product models are MamaRoo infant swing models 4M-005 (versions 1.0 and 2.0), 1026 (version 3.0) and1037 (version 4.0), and all RockaRoo infant rockers (model 4M-012).

In an update, the CCPC explained: "A safety issue has been identified in the US with the affected products, where the tethered strap under the seat of the product could pose an entanglement hazard to non-occupant infants who can crawl under the seat and which could lead to strangulation."

There are approximately 944 affected products in the Republic of Ireland.

People who purchased one of these products are urged to discontinue use immediately, and contact Kooltrade, 4moms’ distributor in Ireland for a free strap fastener that will prevent the straps from extending under the seat.

Further details can be found on 4moms website here.
