The following products were recently recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC):

Infant fatalities have occurred in inclined sleepers, after the infants rolled from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained, or under other circumstances. The swing also violates the Safety Standard for Infant Swings.
