Recalled baby products connected to more than 100 infant deaths are still being sold on Facebook Marketplace despite “thousands” of takedown requests from federal regulators, U.S. lawmakers said in a letter sent last week to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
The letter, sent by the bipartisan House Committee on Energy and Commerce, pointed out that the Boppy Newborn Lounger, which was recalled in 2021, and the Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play, a sleep product recalled in 2019, were still available for sale on Facebook Marketplace.
According to lawmakers, Meta is endangering users by allowing the sale of products that pose serious risk of injury or death. Meta has said that products sold on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are required to adhere to the company’s terms, which prohibit the sale of recalled products.
