Five Infant Deaths Prompt CPSC to Sue Manufacturer of Nap Nanny and Chill Infant Recliners

The Consumer Safety Commission (CPSC) has filed an administrative complaint against Baby Matters, LLC, of Berwyn, PA, the manufacturer of Nap Nanny and Nap Nanny Chill infant recliners. The complaint alleges that recliners contain defects in the design, warnings and instructions, which pose a substantial risk of injury and death to infants. CPSC is aware of four infants who died in Nap Nanny Generation Two recliners and a fifth death involved the Chill model. To date, CPSC has received more than 70 additional incident reports of children nearly falling out of the product. Amazon, Buy Buy Baby, Diapers.com, Toys “R” Us and Babies “R” Us have voluntarily recalled the recliners.
