Para información en español, vea el Aviso en Forma Larga aquí.
A $19 million Settlement has been reached in a consumer class action lawsuit against Fisher-Price, Inc. and Mattel, Inc. (“Defendants”) concerning the Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play Sleeper (“RNPS” or “Product”). On April 12, 2019, Fisher-Price and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a voluntary recall of the RNPS entitled “Fisher-Price Recalls Rock ‘n Play Sleeper Due to Reports of Deaths.” If you are included in the Settlement, you have legal rights and deadlines by which you must exercise them.
If you currently own an RNPS, DO NOT use your Product under any circumstances. Instead, please disable your Product as shown in the video below, and follow the instructions to file a Claim Form to receive a cash payment under this Settlement.

If you don’t currently own an RNPS, you may still receive a cash payment under the Settlement if you participated in the RNPS Recall and received a voucher or a Fisher-Price toy for returning the hubs of your RNPS, or previously purchased a new RNPS but no longer own it.
If you file a Claim for a cash payment that is approved, the amount of your payment will depend on whether you currently own your RNPS, participated in the RNPS Recall, or have a Proof of Purchase. Cash payments can range from a full refund of the purchase price of your RNPS to $10. The summary tables below show the payment amounts you may be entitled to receive under these different criteria.
All models of the RNPS are covered by this Settlement and are listed on Appendix A, located in the Documents page of this website.
Please read this Settlement Website carefully. Your legal rights are affected even if you do nothing. You are encouraged to periodically check this Settlement Website because it will be updated with additional information from time to time.
