Berwyn Firm Recalls Infant Recliners After 5 Deaths

The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Friday that Berwyn-based Baby Matters LLC is voluntarily recalling thousands of its Nap Nanny and Chill infant recliners and covers.

The CPSC has received at least 92 complaints about the products since 2009, including five infant deaths:

CPSC is aware of four infants who died in Nap Nanny Generation Two recliners and a fifth death involved in the Chill model. In the incident reports received by CPSC, there were 92 reports of infants hanging or falling over the side of the products, including some infants who were restrained in the product’s harness.

CPSC urges consumers to immediately stop use of all Nap Nanny and Nap Nanny Chill recliners. Baby Matters LLC is no longer in business and is not accepting returns.

About 165,000 units were sold between 2009 and 2012 for about $130 each, according to the CPSC. Read the full announcement at the CPSC website.
