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.
