In a shocking revelation, lawmakers have discovered that recalled products linked to more than 100 infant deaths are still being sold on Facebook.
The products in question are inclined sleepers, which are designed to help babies sleep in an inclined position. However, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a warning that these products can cause suffocation and other serious injuries.
The CPSC has recalled more than 5 million of these sleepers since 2019, but it appears that some of them are still being sold on Facebook. According to a report from the House Oversight and Reform Committee, the social media giant has failed to take action to remove these products from its platform.
The report also found that the sleepers are being sold by third-party sellers, who are not required to follow the same safety standards as the manufacturers. This means that the products may not meet the safety standards set by the CPSC.
The report also noted that Facebook has not taken any steps to ensure that the sellers are aware of the recall. This means that the products are still being sold without any warning about the potential dangers.
The report concluded that Facebook has failed to protect consumers from dangerous products, and that the company should take immediate action to remove the recalled sleepers from its platform.
Lawmakers have called on Facebook to take action to ensure that these products are no longer available on its platform. They have also urged the company to take steps to ensure that third-party sellers are aware of the recall and that they are following the safety standards set by the CPSC.
It is clear that Facebook needs to take action to protect consumers from dangerous products. The company must take steps to ensure that recalled products are no longer available on its platform, and that third-party sellers are aware of the recall and are following the safety standards set by the CPSC.
