This is a VOLUNTARY recall. This is the email I received:
Fisher-Price?,
in cooperation with the United States Consumer Product Safety
Commission, is voluntarily announcing a recall to inspect Fisher-Price
Newborn Rock ?n Play Sleepers?. Mold can develop between the removable
seat cushion and the hard plastic frame of the sleeper when it remains
wet/moist or is infrequently cleaned.
Mold is not present at
the time of purchase, but mold can grow after use of the product.
Newborn Rock ?n Play Sleepers? currently in retail stores are not
affected by this recall to inspect.
Since our records indicate
that you own one or more of these Newborn Rock ?n Play Sleepers?, we are
contacting you directly as a courtesy.
The sleeper is designed
for babies up to 25 pounds and is composed of a metal rocking frame and
removable, washable fabric cover. The product is sold in various
patterns and color palettes
If mold growth is discovered, you can click here for cleaning instructions.
You can also contact Fisher-Price at 1-800-432-5437 Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 AM and 6 PM Eastern Time. Sincerely,
Fisher-Price, Inc. David Kosnoff Vice President, Product Quality & Regulatory Compliance
Re: PSA- Rock and Play recall
Honestly, this is one of the dumbest recalls I have heard of. If you don't clean it, it will grow mold? Will they recall my shower next?
Thanks for posting, though. I'm just ornery. ;-)

Yes! Even though IT SAYS NOT TO DO IT. Same thing with the Nap Nanny recall a few years ago. People are morons and then blame it on the product.

I totally agree. First of all, how is it even getting wet in the first place? Mine is dry...and mold free. Just sayin'
