Rock 'n Play Recall - PSA

in September 2011 Moms

Fisher Price is warning parents about the potential for mold in Rock 'n Plays that aren't cleaned regularly/properly.

I just caught this on the news this morning and thought I'd share since we've got quite a few pg & TTC moms.

Here's a link to the information on the CPSC's website:

    So my sister JUST tested me the other night about this. Hers got moldy. Her baby is only 4m old.
    Are they refunding her? I'm a little confused because this doesn't seem like a recall. Just a warning and if it happens they'll tell you how to clean it. No?

    I agree with this. I get that the design may be prone to mold...but obviously the chair (or whatever you call it) is not growing mold on its own.

    It is still gross and good for parents to know, but I'm not sure I really blame FP.

    Does anyone know how to remove the seat cushion so it can be washed?  I haven't prepped ours yet since we still have a few months, but it's good information to know.

    Cant mold develop on anything if it remains wet or moist?

    I never saw mold on ours when O used it after removing the fabric part. But its in storage now so ill make sure to check it thoroughly when we need it again.

    Panda, I don't remember exactly how you take it off but its easy to do

    It just unsnaps right off. We used to just put it in the washing machine.

    I don't have one so I don't know what it's really for, but how does it get moldy?

    The RnP has a cloth cover and a plastic base. I'm sure the fabric can get moldy if it gets damp or is kept in a damp place.

    While we're on the subject, this could probably also happen to anyone's carseat cover, highchair cover, swing cover, etc. If the fabric gets wet and isn't removed to dry it could get moldy.
