| ■ Nap Nanny Recliners Recalled After Infant Death | 2010.07.30 |
| The death of an infant has prompted a recall of portable recliners that claim to help babies sleep better. The recall of 30,000 Nap Nanny recliners made by Pennsylvania-based Baby Matters LLC was announced Monday by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Associated Press reported. An investigation is under way into the death of a four-month-old Michigan girl who died in a Nap Nanny that was being used in a crib, the CPSC said. The infant reportedly became caught between the outside of the Nap Nanny and the crib's bumper. The CPSC said it knows of 22 reports of infants who fell over the side of the Nap Nanny despite the fact that most of them were strapped into the harness on the foam recliner, the AP reported. The Nap Nanny is not meant to be used in a crib. It should be placed on the floor away from other products, the CPSC said. |
