About 24,000 Amby Baby motion bed hammocks are being recalled after two infants were suffocated. Safety regulators said the side-to-side shifting or tilting of the hammock can cause the infant to roll and become entrapped or wedged against the hammocks fabric or mattress pad.
Amby Baby said it 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.
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.
The beds, made in China, were sold onle at Ambybaby.com and other Internet retailers from January 2003 through October 2009 for about $250.
