Baby Deaths Linked to Nap Nanny Infant Recliners

Since 2010, safety problems with the Nap Nanny and Nap Nanny Chill Infant Recliners have resulted in recalls, a safety blog, and a legal settlement against Baby Matters LLC, the now-defunct company that manufactured Nap Nanny. According to a CPSC Warning, baby deaths have occurred in the following ways:

• The infant partially falls or hangs over the side of the recliner and becomes trapped between the device and crib bumpers
• The baby suffocates to death inside of the Nap Nanny Recliner

The most recent death occurred in Hopatcong, New Jersey, where an 8-month-old baby girl fastened in a belt was found hanging over the side of a Nap Nanny, trapped between the recliner and a crib bumper.

Previous deaths have occurred in both the Generation 2 (Gen 2) and Chill models of the Nap Nanny. 5 of the 6 deaths happened in a recliner that was placed in a crib with a bumper where the caregiver thought the baby would be safe. However, the safest place for a baby is in a bare crib on his or her back. It is important that you never add cushions, pillows, quilts or comforters to a baby’s crib, bassinet or play yard.

Nap Nanny Recall

On June 14, 2013, CPSC announced a nationwide recall [1] for all models of the Nap Nanny and Nap Nanny Chill infant recliners and covers. This action was taken as part of the settlement of an administrative case filed by CPSC in December of 2012, which sought a mandatory recall of the Nap Nanny and Chill Recliners.

Between 2009 and the time of the recall, CPSC received at least 92 injury reports involving the Nap Nanny and Nap Nanny Chill Recliners, including 5 baby deaths. The Commission is aware of 4 babies who died in Nap Nanny Generation Two recliners, as well as a 5th death in the Chill model. Of the incidents reported to the CPSC, there were at least 92 incidences of babies hanging or falling over the side of the recliners, including some infants who were restrained in the product’s harness.

CPSC Recommendation

CPSC advises families in possession of Nap Nanny or Nap Nanny Chill Infant Recliners to dispose of them immediately and contact the retailer where they purchased the product for refund information. Nap Nanny recliners are no longer available in stores, but may still be sold second-hand at yard sales and on the Internet. The commission is aware of parents posting online about how much they like Nap Nanny Recliners, but the devices are hazardous and it is currently illegal to sell or resell them.

Most cases involving product liability allege that a product was sold with design, manufacturing, and/or marketing defects, which typically refers to a company’s failure to warn of a potential injury associated with use of their product. In the case of the Nap Nanny Infant Recliner, our attorneys suspect that families may be able to take legal action in light of claims that Baby Matters LLC failed to adequately warn about the risk of strangulation and suffocation.

By filing a lawsuit against the maker of the Nap Nanny, you may be entitled to collect compensation for all current and future medical expenses related to the treatment of your child’s injury, as well as for damages for pain and suffering.
