For most parents it is difficult to imagine anything happening to their  beautiful new baby. In anticipation of the birth of a baby many people spend hours reading about how best to raise their children and what products are the safest to use. Unfortunately, at times despite taking those actions, tragedy strikes and something happens to injure the infant. In the worst cases death is the end result.

There are a variety of things that cause these deaths including defective children's products. Two such products were recently recalled after the death of five babies. Sold by Pennsylvania company Baby Matters LLC, the recalled products are called Nap Nanny and Nap Nanny Chill recliners.

The voluntary recall is a tragic response to the baby deaths as well as more than 90 reports of situations where a baby placed into one of the recliners, was found to have either fallen over the side of the sleeper or left hanging from it. In some instances those incidents occurred despite the child being strapped into the harness found on the product. The issue with the products appears to be defective designs.

Over the course of several years beginning in 2009, a total of approximately 165,000 of the defective products were sold. People who purchased either of the products paid approximately $130 apiece for them. They were available both in stores as well in on the internet.

The recall was ultimatly a part of a settlement agreement reachced between the no longer operating business, Baby Matters, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The latter, which is charged with keeping consumers safe from defective or dangerous products, filed an administrative complaint seeking the recall, late last year.

This is not the first time that there has been news of a recall of the products. Around the time that the CPSC filed the adminstrative complaint, several retailers of baby products issues their own recall of the sleepers.
