The Nap Nanny Portable Infant Recliner — recall 21745

Reported risk: Infants can partially fall or hang over the side of the Nap Nanny ® even while the harness is in use. In addition, if the Nap Nanny ® is placed inside a crib, play yard or other confined area, which is not a recommended use, the infant can fall or hang over of the side of the Nap Nanny ® and become entrapped between the crib side and the Nap Nanny ® and suffocate. If the Nap Nanny ® is placed on a table, countertop, or other elevated surface and a child falls over the side, it poses a risk of serous head injury. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is investigating a report of a 4 month-old baby girl who died in a Nap Nanny ® that was being used in a crib. The infant was in her harness and found hanging over the side of the product, caught between the Nap Nanny ® and the crib bumper. In the United States, the CPSC and Baby Matters are aware of one other incident in which an infant became entrapped when the Nap Nanny ® was used in a crib, contrary to the product instructions. In that incident, the infant fell over the side of the Nap Nanny ® , despite being harnessed in, and was caught between the baby recliner and the side of the crib. The infant sustained a cut to the forehead. The CPSC and the firm have also received 22 reports of infants, primarily younger than 5 months-old, hanging or falling out over the side of the Nap Nanny ® despite most of the infants being placed in the harness. One infant received a bruise as a result of hanging over the side of the product. In Canada, Health Canada and Baby Matters have not received any reports of deaths or injuries related to the use of the portable recliner.
