Consumer Product Safety Commission) WASHINGTON - Boppy’s Newborn Loungers, a popular pillow-like product that allows infants to sit at an elevated angle but recalled in 2021, has now been linked to at least 10 infant deaths, U.S.

consumer safety officials said this week. More than 3.3 million Boppy loungers were recalled across the U.S. and Canada in September 2021 after eight reports of infant deaths associated with them, the U.S.

Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said. The infants reportedly suffocated after being placed on their back, side or stomach on the lounger and their breathing became obstructed, the agency said.In a notice posted on Tuesday, the CPSC said two more infants have died since the 2021 recall and urged parents and caregivers to "stop using" the products.
