Parents, check the label on that new baby seat you got for Christmas.

Moms & dads are being told not to strap their kids into a kind of recliner.

4 retailers in the US & Canada have agreed to stop selling the chairs after the deaths of at least 5 infants stateside & the injury of dozens more.

The recall covers Nap Nanny Generations 1 & 2 & the Chill model infant recliners. 150 000 of them were sold between 2009 & 2012.

The Nap Nanny was designed to mimic the curves of a baby car seat, elevating an infant to help reduce reflux, gas, stuffiness & other problems.

Amazon.com, Buy Buy Baby, Diapers.com & Toys R Us/Babies R Us have pulled the product from their stock rooms.  The manufacturer went out of business earlier this month.

The first 2 versions of the foam recliner were recalled in July 2010 after The Consumer Product Safety Commission  became aware of 1 death & 22 reports of infants hanging out or falling over the side of the Nap Nanny, even though most of the infants had been placed in the recliner's harness.
