Recalled baby products linked to more than 100 infant deaths, including Boppy pillows, are still being sold on Facebook Marketplace, lawmakers said.
Recalled baby products that have been linked to more than 100 infant deaths are still for sale on Facebook Marketplace, lawmakers said in a letter to Meta.
Four members of Congress want to know how Facebook parent Meta handles product safety and how many staff are dedicated to trust and safety teams. Meta has been in the midst of sweeping layoffs, which have disproportionally affected its teams dedicated to safety, CNBC previously reported.are still widely sold on Facebook Marketplace despite thousands of requests from federal regulators to take down the items, four members of Congress said.
Lawmakers wrote that the Consumer Product Safety Commission has sent Facebook parent Meta about 1,000 requests a month since 2022 to remove the recalled Boppy Newborn Lounger, but the product keeps cropping up for sale on the platform."To date, the volume of takedown requests has not slowed, and CPSC staff is unaware of any proactive measures Meta has taken to prevent these postings in the future," said the letter, signed by Reps.
"Meta's failure to prevent recalled products from being posted for sale on its platform has resulted in your users and their children being placed at risk of purchasing and using a product that CPSC has found to pose a serious risk of injury and potential death," the lawmakers wrote.
