The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled Nap Nanny products, with the support of manufacturer Baby Matters. One death has been attributed to a Nap Nanny, though the product was getting used incorrectly. Baby Matters has offered an $ 80 coupon for the purchase of a new Nap Nanny for everyone who has a first-generation Nap Nanny.
The Nap Nanny product
The Baby Matters business makes and distributes the Nap Nanny, a product they say helps fussy babies sleep more easily. The Nap Nanny has a three-point harness and molded foam. The harness is what is at issue in this recall — when used incorrectly, the harness does not hold the baby in place. D-rings do not hold the Velcro harness in place in first generation products. Only the first generation products are integrated in the recall.
What you need to do about the Nap Nanny recall
If you do have a Nap Nanny, your response to the recall depends on which product you’ve. Between January 2009 and July 2010, the Nap Nanny first generation product was sold in many stores. Call Baby Matters at 888-240-4282 to get a coupon for 61 percent off the purchase price of a new Nap Nanny. Before you use a Nap Nanny that does have D-rings, you should watch the video on the Baby Matters website.
Questions about the Consumer Product Safety Commission
A long line of baby product recalls this year contains this Nap Nanny. The CPSC has recalled a huge variety of products within the last year, including pacifiers and drop-side cribs. 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. You will find forthcoming standards for cribs, and there are plans for other products. The CPSC has a severe problem: not much staff, but the responsibility for each product on the market.
