I'm sorry no. The expression of "preying on parents fears/anxiety as marketing a device" is not literal. It is about drumming up those fears at the time of the sale, not at the time fo the use. In short, if I make no claims about making the motivator of your fears go away, but I do make claims about helping you manage the fears themselves, that isn't preying on your fears and anxiety. I believe the technical term for that is "helping". The obsessive loop is, "maybe my baby isn't breathing <-> check on baby <-> it's breathing <-> go back <-> maybe my baby isn't breathing". If you can go right from, "maybe my baby isn't breathing <-> of course not, this idiot box would tell me if he/she weren't" (and sure it's fair that that is far from certain), that's huge progress and it can deflate obsessive compulsive behaviour, anxiety and fear. It's the equivalent of giving a kid a stuff toy so they aren't scared in bed at night.
