MamaRoo Recall and RockaRoo Recall Lawsuit in Philadelphia, PA

Serving Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York & Nationwide

MamaRoostraphanging

The MamaRoo and RockaRoo infant swings and rockers were meant to provide comfort and convenience for parents. However, design flaws have turned these products into potential hazards.

Following reports of tragic injuries, including infant fatalities, more than two million MamaRoo swings and 220,000 RockaRoo rockers were recalled, leaving many families seeking justice.

The Mamaroo and Rockaroo recall over the entanglement and strangulation hazard was announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Pittsburgh-based Thorley Industries, which does business under the company name 4moms.

If your child has been harmed by a MamaRoo or RockaRoo product, you may have grounds for a product liability lawsuit. Kline & Specter – one of the nation's most experienced plaintiffs' firms, is here to help.

Which MamaRoo or RockaRoo Models Were Affected by the Recall?

The affected MamaRoo Models were versions with a 3-point harness:

  • MamaRoo 1.0 and 2.0 (Model 4M-005)
  • MamaRoo 3.0 (Model 1026)
  • MamaRoo 4.0 (Model 1037)

The MamaRoo 5.0 (Model 1046), which features a 5-point harness, is not part of the recall.

The only affected RockaRoo model is the RockaRoo Model 4M-012.

Injuries That Have Been Reported From the MamaRoo or RockaRoo Products

The MamaRoo and RockaRoo products were recalled due to entanglement and strangulation hazards. These hazards have led to significant injuries.

Strangulation Injuries

  • Fatality: One infant death was reported when the baby became entangled in the straps of an unoccupied MamaRoo swing. The infant's neck became trapped, leading to strangulation.
  • Non-Fatal Injuries: A second incident involved another infant who also became entangled in the straps but survived with injuries.

Entanglement Risks

The primary hazard arose when the swing or rocker straps dangled under the seat when not in use. Infants crawling near the product could become entangled in them, particularly around the neck.

Potential for Other Injuries

  • Bruising or Abrasions: The risk of physical harm, such as bruising or abrasions to the neck or upper body, exists when infants struggle to free themselves from entanglement.
  • Emotional Trauma: Parents and caregivers may also experience emotional distress due to these traumatic incidents, though not a direct physical injury to the infant.

What to Do if Your Baby Swing Was Affected

If you own a MamaRoo or RockaRoo product from 4moms, follow these steps to check if your model is part of the recall.

Locate the Model Number

The model number is usually on a sticker or label attached to the bottom of the swing or rocker.

Recalled products will have been purchased from January 2010 through August 2022.
