I Bought a Rock’n Play Sleeper—How Do I Get My Fisher-Price Recall Refund?

Following an investigation by Consumer Reports that linked the Fisher-Price Rock’n Play sleepers to at least thirty-two infant deaths, the company recalled all five million sleepers from the market.

If you own a Rock’n Play sleeper, you should know that both the Mattel-owned Fisher-Price and the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission declared that customers should stop using the product immediately.

How to Request a Fisher-Price Rock’n Play Recall Refund?

If you own a Rock 'n Play Sleeper, you should stop using the item immediately. You can disassemble the product and return it to Matel to receive a full refund.

Here is how to do it:

    1. Go to the Mattel and Fisher-Price Customer Service page
    2. Click on the United States icon
    3. On the Recall page select the appropriate quantity and click Continue
    4. Fill in the form on the Order page. Once you fill in your contact details, click Continue Checkout
    5. Electronic Merchandise Return screen will appear, containing your billing and shipping info, product number, product description, and Parts to be Returned
    6. Click on the Parts to Be Returned column to see further details
    7. Once you review your info, click Submit Order
    8. With this step, you have completed your order for a prepaid mailing label. It should be delivered within ten business days

    11. Make sure to include the original purchase receipt with your shipment return. If you don't have the receipt, write the month and year of purchase on one of the hubs

You should keep the rest of your product, except the hubs, as well as a copy of the receipt if you have it. Also, keep a copy of the shipping receipt until you receive your recall resolution.

Will You Get Your Rock 'n Play Recall Refund When You Return the Sleeper?

Fisher-Price will issue you either a refund or a gift card, depending on how long you had the Sleeper.

  • If you or the previous owner originally bought the Fisher-Price Rock 'n Play Sleeper on or since 10/12/2018, you are eligible to get a full refund. The refund will cover the price and the tax, but you need to include your original receipt. If you do not have your receipt, write the month and year of purchase on one of the hubs, and the company will decide on the refund amount
  • If you or the previous owner originally bought the Fisher-Price Rock 'n Play Sleeper before 10/12/2018, you will receive a voucher for another Fisher-Price product

Once you have shipped both hubs to Mattel, it can take from 12 to 16 weeks for your request to process.

There is no way to track the process, but you will be notified of your recall resolution either by email or via phone call.
