Baby recliners not so relaxing

I know we just posted about an infant product recall, but here’s another one! The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has certainly been busy lately. Baby Matters LLC has issued a voluntary recall of its Nap Nanny baby recliner. The recall affects some 30,000 units and was prompted by an infant death. In the death the recliner was placed inside a crib, and the baby got trapped between the crib bumper and the Nap Nanny.

Though the Nap Nanny has a harness, infants can sometimes hang over the side, which can be dangerous, especially if the recliner is placed inside a crib or something similar. Anyone with a first-generation Nap Nanny (ones that do not come equipped with D-rings) should stop using the recliner and contact Baby Matters for a replacement. Those with the D-ring-equipped Nap Nanny should review instructions on how to properly use the harness.
