The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission along with Fisher-Price is recalling about 800,000 Rock'N Play infant sleepers.

Mold could build up under the seat cushion and potentially make a baby sick.

Fisher-Price has had 600 reports of mold on the sleeper and 16 reports of infants being treated for respiratory issues, coughs and hives after sleeping in the product.

The CPSC asks consumers to inspect the sleeper, stop using it if mold is found and to contact Fisher-Price for cleaning instructions or further assistance. Cleaning and care instructions can also be found at www.service.mattel.com or by contacting Fisher-Price at (800) 432-5437, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at www.service.mattel.com.

The sleepers have been sold nationwide since 2009. Sleepers currently in retail stores are not included in this recall to inspect.
