Nap Nanny RECALL

WASHINGTON — Four national retailers agreed to recall more than 150,000 Nap Nanny baby recliners after at least five infant deaths and dozens of reports of children nearly falling out of the recliners, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.
The recall covers Nap Nanny Generations One and Two, and the Chill model infant recliners. All were sold between 2009 and 2012. The Nap Nanny was designed to mimic the curves of a baby car seat, elevating an infant slightly to help reduce reflux, gas, stuffiness or other problems.
The CPSC warned parents and caregivers that the Nap Nanny contains defects in its design, warnings and instructions. The agency said the product poses a substantial risk of injury and death to infants.
The four retailers – Amazon.com, Buy Buy Baby, Diapers.com and Toys R Us/Babies R Us – agreed to voluntarily participate in the recall of the Nap Nanny because its manufacturer is unable or unwilling to participate, the government agency said in a statement.
The manufacturer, Baby Matters LLC of Berwyn, Pa., told The Associated Press earlier this month that it had gone out of business. At the time, the company's website carried a statement from owner and founder Leslie Gudel that the company didn't believe the CPSC complaint had merit and that its products were safe when used as instructed.
The first two versions of the foam recliner were recalled in July 2010 after the agency became aware of one death and 22 reports of infants hanging out or falling over the side of the Nap Nanny even though most of the infants had been placed in the recliner's harness. Since then, the agency learned of four more deaths. Four were linked to the first versions of the recliner, and one to the newer model.
Five thousand Nap Nanny Generation One and 50,000 Generation Two models were sold between 2009 and early 2012. About 100,000 Chill models have been sold since January 2011.
The CPSC advised consumers seeking more information about the recall to review the return policies of the retailers participating in the recall.

that's kind of funny how they even made something to "mimic a car seat" when you're never supposed to let baby sleep in a car seat to begin with.

Quoting JiLLiAN.:" that's kind of funny how they even made something to "mimic a car seat" when you're never supposed to let baby sleep in a car seat to begin with."

Right?! That thing does not look safe at all...

It looks really cute and comfy, if they weren't unsafe I probably would have gotten one.
But how has it caused deaths is my question.
And I don't understand how kids could fall out if they are strapped in securely..

I just did a google search, most of what I can find specifies more about just letting them sleep in their car seat for hours on end...

The angle is unsafe for their airway for a long period of time, but as far as im aware most infant carseat deaths have been from parents leaving babies in the car, unattended, and the babies dying from heat exhaustion/dehydration. Really sad that people would do that

I'm late in here, but my guess would be mostly parental fault in leaving baby unattended for prolonged periods. Same goes for most recalled baby products like the bumbo seat, etc. it's really sad though

Yeah I love my daughters Bumbo so does she. It shouldn't have been recalled its neglectful parents who leave there kids unattended on un secure surfaces fault.

No, there have been cases where baby gets up in the middle of the night, doesn't want to go back to sleep, so their parents put them in the car seat to fall asleep. Their head falls forward and they suffocate.

It is back out, they added straps to it.
