The Consumer Product Safety Commission and business Baby Matters have recalled the first generation of Nap Nanny products. One five-month-old died while using a Nap Nanny, though it was getting used incorrectly. Baby Matters has offered an $ 80 coupon for the purchase of a new Nap Nanny for any person who has a first-generation Nap Nanny.
The Nap Nanny by Baby Matters
A foam pillow intended to help fussy babies sleep, the Nap Nanny is made and distributed by the Baby Matters business. Intended to re-create the position of a auto seat, the Nap Nanny has a three-point harness. The baby is not held in place when the harness is used incorrectly. First generation products do not have D-rings to help hold the Velcro harness in place. Only those without the D-ring are involved in the recall.
How you need to react to the Nap Nanny recall
. If you purchased your Nap Nanny between January 2009 and July 2010, you most likely have a first-generation product. Call Baby Matters at 888-240-4282 to get a coupon that will give you $ 80 off a new Nap Nanny. If your Nap Nanny has D-rings, you need to view the video on the Baby Matters site before using it again.
Questions about the effectiveness of the CPSC
The Nap Nanny recall is just one of the most recent in a huge number of baby product recalls. Drop side cribs and pacifiers have also been recalled for safety dangers just this year. In 2008, Congress passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, which asked for standards to be set for baby gear. Creating standards has been a long process, and only baby walkers and bath seats have complete standards. Crib standards are forthcoming, and standards for other products are on the schedule. Despite the huge responsibility of the safety of most products, the CPSC has little funding or staffing.
