This is from 2 years ago. It doesn't say what about them is
dangerous.

Does anyone know?

Aren't some things that recalled still fully usable if the owner
makes
a
change or two? If so, it would help to know what the problem is.

The picture isn't good enough for me to guess what the problem is
here.

Did you read the text?
I skimmed it. My bad.

"five infant fatalities have occurred in the Kids II Rocking
Sleepers,
after the infants rolled from their back to their stomach while
unrestrained, or under other circumstances"
Can't babies normally roll over from back to side?

"At three or four months of age babies are able to roll over by
themselves; this means they could tip the bassinet over, so for
safety
they must use an infant bed or toddler bed instead. "

Do some bassinets have straps to tie them down?

This is a DIY group. The universal fix for what ails things is duct
tape.
Show 'em the safety recall and offer to throw in a roll of duct tape
if
they insist
on selling it.

The kid whose life you possibly save might be the one caring for you
in
old age.

More likely they will ship you off to a nursing home.

Who pays for that?


Either the state or the assets of the geriatric.


Yup that is how it works. Great if Mom is destitute but if
there is anything worth having, the government takes it.


And so they should. If you want to use a nursing
home at the end of your life, you should be paying
for that, not the state unless you are destitute.

It is certainly a trade off just to dump Mom.


And so it should be.
