This past Nov. 8, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of about 24,000 Amby Baby Motion Beds/Hammocks.
Consumers should immediately stop using the Amby Baby motion beds/hammocks and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby.
The side-to-side shifting or tilting of the hammock can cause the infant to roll and become entrapped or wedged against the hammock’s fabric and/or mattress pad, resulting in a suffocation hazard.
The CPSC is aware of two infant suffocation deaths in the hammock. Those deaths involved a 4-month-old girl in Lawrenceville, Ga. and a 5-month-old boy from Gresham, Ore.
The Amby Baby motion beds/hammocks were sold at Ambybaby.com and other Internet retailers from January of 2003 to October of 2009 for about $250.
For more information, including how to contact Amby Baby USA for a free repair kit, read the CPSC recall notice or visit the Amby Baby Web site.
