Infant Suffocation Deaths Prompt Recall of Amby Baby Motion Beds/Hammocks
10056 · Recalled 2009-12-08 · CPSC page
Description
The Amby Baby Motion Bed consists of a steel frame and a fabric hammock which are connected by a large spring and metal crossbar. There is only one model of the hammock available which can be identified by a label sewn onto the hammock stating: "Amby - Babies Love It, Naturally."
Hazards
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.
Reported injuries
Amby Baby is aware of two infant suffocation deaths in the Amby Baby hammock. In June 2009, a 4-month-old girl in Lawrenceville, Ga died in a baby hammock and in August 2009, a 5-month-old boy from Gresham, Ore.
Remedy
This firm is no longer in business. The repair kit is no longer available. Consumers who have not received the repair kit should immediately stop using this product and discard it.
