The CPSC has instructed to stop using Amby Baby Motion Beds immediately unless otherwise instructed.
Amby Baby Motion Bed by Australian inventor Ambrose Hooi has been marketed for fussy babies. The firm claimed that Amby Baby Motion Bed helps babies and parents get the sleep they need with it’s womb-like design and gentle motion. The bed consists of a mesh fabric hammock that is connected by a large spring and metal crossbar to a steel frame. The bed is identified by the label, “Amby — Babies Love It. Naturally!”
CPSC has found that 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.
CPSC instructs that consumers should immediately stop using the Amby Baby motion beds/hammocks and contact Amby Baby USA for a free repair kit. Parents and caregivers are urged to find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby.
