Nap Nanny® portable baby recliners

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Baby Matters is recalling Nap Nanny® Recliners due to multiple hazards affecting infants. Infants can partially fall or hang over the side of the product even while wearing the harness, particularly if the Velcro straps are not properly attached to the "D"-rings or if the first-generation model without "D"-rings is being used. The risks are heightened when the Nap Nanny® is placed inside a crib, play yard, or other confined space (which is not recommended), as the infant can become trapped between the Nap Nanny® and the surrounding structure and suffocate. Additionally, if the product is placed on elevated surfaces like tables or countertops and an infant falls over the side, serious head injury can result. One infant death has been reported in connection with this hazard.

According to the recall notice, owners of first-generation Nap Nanny® models without "D"-rings should immediately stop using the product and contact the firm to receive an $80 coupon toward purchasing a new second-generation Nap Nanny® with free shipping. Owners of second-generation models with "D"-rings should immediately stop using the product until they visit the firm's website to obtain new product instructions, warnings, and an instructional video demonstrating proper harness fastening.

Hazard

Infants can partially fall or hang over the side of the Nap Nanny® even while the harness is in use. This situation can be worse if the Velcro™ straps, located inside the Nap Nanny® cover are not properly attached to the "D"-rings located on the foam, or if consumers are using the first-generation model Nap Nanny® that was sold without "D"-rings. 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. Likewise, 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 serious head injury.

What should I do?

Consumers with a first-generation Nap Nanny® models, without "D"-rings, should stop using the recalled baby recliners immediately and contact the firm to receive an $80 coupon towards the purchase of a new Nap Nanny® with free shipping. Consumers with a second-generation Nap Nanny® model, with "D"-rings, should immediately stop using the product until they are able to visit the firm's website to obtain new product instructions and warnings. Consumers will also view an important instructional video to help consumers ensure the harness is properly fastened.

Details from the source

The Nap Nanny® is a portable recliner designed for sleeping, resting and playing. The recliner includes a foam base with an inclined indentation for the infant to sit in and a fitted fabric cover and a three-point harness. The first-generation model of the Nap Nanny® can be identified by the absence of "D"-rings in the foam base. In second-generation models, the harness system has "D"-rings in the foam base and Velcro™ straps inside the fitted fabric cover.
