2:54 am
the law established minimum space requirements for certain species of livestock. >> confining animals in extremely terrible situations where animals are stacked in cages on top of cages, it creates conditions where there are illnesses. so there is swine flu. there is bird flu. we can't keep pretending that it has nothing to do with us. >> reporter: protecting the 600 or so residents of this ranch is, in a way, a symbolic act for an organization looking to improve the welfare of animals all around the world, symbolic like the name black beauty. as kitty block explains, the ability to consider an animal's perspective is part of what makes us human. >> it's important not just for the animals, but it's important for us, who we are, how we think about ourselves, how we want to have a world that we pass on to our children and our children's children. animals belong there.

"my mother and my siblings, of course. but since i have my dad here, he also sends them money." nationally, more than half the workers in the dairy industry are undocumented. like kevin, many leave behind loved ones for wages that are below what american workers would get. some people are saying that you could be right now hiring american workers to do this job, and that the only reason you're not doing that is because you can pay immigrants less. how would you respond to that? >> if i hired americans to do the work, i would have to pay probably about $100,000 a year per person. and they would only work 40, 50 hours a week. i would be out of business within six months.

3:22 am
2019, four years after jamison's death that she says she stumbled upon startling news. fisher-price announced a recall of its rock and play incline sleeper, the same product jamison died in. >> the anger i felt was -- it was my whole body was palpable. i could not believe. >> reporter: according to the consumer product safety commission's records, the product has been tied to at least 100 infant deaths since 2012. a study it commissioned found the angle of the incline increased the risk of asphyxiation and suffocation. shortly after the recall, a congressional investigation concluded that fisher-price failed to ensure the rock 'n play was safe before bringing it to market and found fisher-price was aware of injuries and deaths in the rock 'n play as early as 2012. the report also found even after the cpsc urged the company to disclose safety concerns in 2018, it still took more than a year for fisher-price to recall

3:24 am
that requires the cpsc, the government agency whose job it is to evaluate products for safety to get permission from a manufacturer like mattel in this case before it's allowed to warn the public of possible dangers, often creating that lag time. >> the agency responsible for protecting your children should be unleashed to warn and to recall much more quickly. >> reporter: is anyone policing the safety of baby products before they hit shelves? >> there is really no effective oversight of baby products before they're used by your infant. often safety issues arise, sometimes causing death, and years pass before there is any effective action. this system is broken. >> say hi! >> hi. >> reporter: connelly says she's found strength for her two living children. but her loss is immeasurable. two years after her son's death, her fiance took his own life.
3:25 am
she says consumed with grief. connelly is appealing her case. >> i will never stop this fight and the pursuit to bring justice to the both of them. >> reporter: in a previous report, mattel did respond to the congressional investigation, telling cbs news it disagrees with significant parts of its findings. mattel maintains the rock 'n play had extensive research and testing and met or exceeded all applicable regulatory standards. earlier this month, connelly lost her appeal but says she won't give up and hopes her story sav
