Amby hammock recall (US)

I just read that the Amby Hammock beds are being recalled in the US after 2 baby deaths
I think they are sending out a repair kit in 2010, not sure if UK customers can get one though. I used an Amby bed from 8 weeks to 12.5 months as my son was a terrible sleeper and has reflux. Had no issues with it but had him right by my bed and used a breathing alarm.
If you are using one there is advice on Amby's american site about making sure your hammock doesn't tilt.

Just so you all know (and in case anyone is checking). I ordered a 'repair kit' to my brother's address in the US and have been told it will be sent in March.

It now seems certain that the problem was caused by babies not being level in the hammock and thus somehow getting caught in the mattress.

It is obviously very sad news for the families involved but I have to say very foolish as I can't imagine putting a baby in a hammock that was not level - it would be very uncomfortable, if nothing else!
