Nap Nanny Recalled
Baby Matters, the company that makes the Nap Nanny has issued a recall after a 4 month old child reportedly suffocated to death. Initial reports indicate the little girl, while harnessed was found hanging over the side of the product where she became entrapped between it and her crib.
CPSC is investigating a report of a 4-month-old girl from Royal Oak, Mich., who died in a Nap Nanny that was being used in a crib. According to preliminary reports, the girl was in her harness and found hanging over the side of the product. She got caught between the Nap Nanny and the side of the crib.
CPSC and Baby Matters, the company that makes Nap Nanny, have received 22 reports of infants, primarily younger than 5-months-old, hanging or falling out over the side of the Nap Nanny despite most of the infants being placed in the product’s harness.
Some recommendations as listed in the recall notice:
* If you own the second-generation model, fasten the harness correctly, using the rings attached to the foam, and make sure the harness is snugly fastened.
* Always place all models of the Nap Nanny on the floor, away from other products. Even while harnessed, babies can lean over the side of the Nap Nanny. Do not put it inside a crib, bassinet or play yard, where a baby can get trapped and suffocate. Do not place it on your bed or near pillows and other bedding, another suffocation hazard.
* Do not place any Nap Nanny model on a table or other high surfaces from which a baby could fall.
