WASHINGTON (AP) - About 24,000 Amby Baby Motion Beds are being recalled after two infant deaths. The hammock-like beds are marketed to parents of fussy babies with colic or reflux.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the side-to-side shifting or tilting of the hammock can cause an infant to roll and become trapped or wedged against the hammock's fabric or mattress pad, posing a suffocation risk to babies.
Two infants suffocated this summer.
The beds are made by Amby Baby USA of Minneapolis.
CPSC says there is only one model of the hammock available. It has a label sewn onto the hammock that says, "Amby - Babies Love It, Naturally." They were sold on the Internet, through Ambybaby.com and other Internet retailers dating back to 2003.
