December 8, 2009 – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Amby Baby USA, of Minneapolis, Minn., today announced a voluntary recall of their Amby Baby Motion Beds.

The Amby Baby Motion Bed consists of a steel frame and a fabric hammock which are connected by a large spring and metal crossbar. There is only one model of the hammock available which can be identified by a label sewn onto the hammock stating: “Amby – Babies Love It, Naturally.”

This product is being recalled because the side-to-side shifting or tilting of the hammock can cause the infant to roll and become entrapped or wedged against the hammock’s fabric and/or mattress pad, resulting in a suffocation hazard.

Amby Baby is aware of two infant suffocation deaths in the Amby Baby hammock. In June 2009, a 4-month-old girl in Lawrenceville, Ga died in a baby hammock and in August 2009, a 5-month-old boy from Gresham, Ore.

Approximately 24,000 hammocks have been sold online at Ambybaby.com and other Internet retailers from January 2003 through October 2009 for about $250.

Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
