House Committee on Oversight and Reform
House Committee on Oversight and Reform
Abstract
The House Committee on Oversight and Reform conducted an investigation into the safety of inclined sleepers for infants after media reports of infant deaths. The committee used Fisher-Price as a case study because they had released the first infant inclined sleeper. It was discovered that Fisher-Price had ignored warnings about the product and that the Consumer Product Safety Commission does not have adequate power to protect the public.
