Amby Baby USA is conducting a voluntary recall across the United States of nearly 25,000 baby motion beds that have allegedly led to deaths of two infants this summer.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the side-to-side motion of the hammock-like bed may prompt an infant to roll and suffocate after becoming trapped against the bed’s fabric and/or mattress.

The bed — sold online since 2003 — is marketed to parents nationwide whose babies may be fussy about going and/or staying asleep and suffer from colic or reflux. This is because the beds, made by Amby Baby USA, are designed to gently swing anytime a baby moves in its sleep, mimicing the motion that babies experience in the womb. The bed is recommended for babies who are less than nine months old.

The CPSC is urging parents to immediately discontinue using the bed and wait for a free repair kit, which according to the manufacturer, may not be provided until 2010. Parents who may have further questions are being asked to call 1(866) 544-9721.

Ten million Slim-Fast 11 ounce cans are being recalled nationwide. Unilever, the maker of the product, is currently cooperating with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to try and get the ready-to-drink, canned Slim-Fast drink off the shelves due to a possible bacterial contamination that has been linked with severe nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.

Slim-Fast meal replacement shakes, bars and packaged meals are dietary supplements designed to help people lose weight.

The FDA has launched an investigation of the company’s production facilities located in Covington, Tennessee following several consumer complaints. Unilever says it is pulling all its resources together in order to identify and correct the problem that may have led to the contamination.

Consumers are being asked to immediately discard any Slim-Fast canned products, regardless of the flavor and/or expiration date, and contact the company at 1 (800) 896-9479 to receive a full refund.

Unilever says the recall is a precautionary measure and does not apply to its other Slim-Fast products, as well as Skippy peanut butter and Ragu pasta sauce.
