Fisher-Price class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: Plaintiff Teresa Raatz filed a class action lawsuit against Fisher-Price Inc. and Mattel Inc.
- Why: Raatz claims the company’s 3-in-1 SnugaPuppy Activity Centers pose a choking hazard to young children.
- Where: The Fisher-Price class action lawsuit was filed in New York federal court.
A new class action lawsuit claims that Fisher-Price and Mattel sold 3-in-1 SnugaPuppy Activity Centers that are unfit for their intended purpose since they pose a choking hazard to young children.
Plaintiff Teresa Raatz filed the class action complaint against Fisher-Price and Mattel on April 22 in New York federal court, alleging violations of state and federal consumer laws.
The SnugaPuppy lawsuit points to an April 10 recall highlighting the potential for the activity center’s detachable tissue box toy to come apart, exposing small support brackets that are a choking hazard to young children.
Raatz argues Fisher-Price and Mattel marketed and sold the activity centers as being safe for children and did not notify consumers about the potential choking hazard.
“Plaintiff and consumers do not know, and did not have a reason to know, that the Product purchased carried the potential for choking hazards. Consumers expect the products they purchased to be safe, especially products aimed towards children,” the Fisher-Price class action states.
Fisher-Price sold 15,300 SnugaPuppies with potential knowledge of the defect, class action says
The lawsuit states that Fisher-Price failed to disclose when they first discovered or received reports from users regarding the choking hazard, claiming that “at a minimum, Defendants were aware of the risk associated with the Product since its sales between November 2022 through February 2025.”
Raatz argues Fisher-Price sold around 15,300 activity centers at various stores and mass merchandisers nationwide and online between November 2022 and February 2025.
As a result of the alleged choking hazard, Raatz claims the activity centers have been rendered “completely worthless” or, at the very least, have been “substantially diminished in value.”
Raatz wants to represent a nationwide class of consumers who purchased or used a Fisher-Price 3-in-1 SnugaPuppy Activity Center between November 2022 and April 10, 2025.
She demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of damages for herself and all class members.
Fisher-Price and Mattel previously faced a lawsuit alleging that Snuga Swings, sold since 2010, are “dangerously defective” and pose a suffocation risk to infants.
