Angelcare嬰兒呼吸動作感應監視器 宣布召回
先前在mobile01 還有一些網路部落格看到很多媽媽分享這個監視器
整個讓我大生火!
他的優點除了可以監聽寶寶、監視寶寶之外,更重要的是,他可以偵測感應寶寶的呼吸動作
只要寶寶20秒沒有動作和呼吸,放在媽媽那端的監視器就會警鈴大作
讓跟孩子分房睡覺的媽媽可以很安心
但是目前這個產品在台灣是買不到的,除非要靠朋友帶回來或是代購
所以我上了amazon看了半天,本來還在猶豫到底要買ac1100系列
還是要買沒有video功能的ac401系列
結果今天,我突然看到CNN的新聞
原文如下:

Angelcare recalls baby monitors after 2 deaths
- NEW: Sellers of recalled items "are just misinformed"
- The cord from the sensor pads was pulled into the crib by the infant in both fatalities
- "The peace of mind you need," reads the box on one of the recalled models
- Deaths occurred in 2004 and 2011
(CNN) -- "Stop worrying while your baby sleeps!" reads the box on one model of the Angelcare Movement Sensor with Sound Monitor.
"The peace of mind you need," says the box containing another model.
But news announced this week by federal authorities working with the company was far from reassuring.
Citing two deaths by cord strangulation, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday that the company is recalling 600,000 Angelcare Movement and Sound Monitors with Sensor Pads.
"The cord attached to the baby monitor's sensor pad is placed under the crib mattress, which poses a strangulation risk if the child pulls the cord into the crib and it becomes wrapped around the neck," the safety commission said Thursday in announcing the voluntary recall.
In one case, a 13-month-old girl died in San Diego in November 2011; in the other case, an 8-month-old girl died in Salem, Oregon, in August 2004.
"In both fatalities, the cord from the sensor pads was pulled into the crib by the infant," the CPSC said in the announcement posted on its website.
Asked why years had elapsed between the deaths and the recall, CPSC Director of Communications Scott Wolfson said the agency had moved as quickly as it could. "There are times when we see information we can act upon, and there are times when we need to gather more information," he told CNN in a telephone interview.
Angelcare settled a claim in the 2011 death and has no pending legal claims against it, said Rick Locker, a counsel for the company, in a telephone interview.
Though the recall affects only the United States, where both deaths occurred, and Canada, the company is offering rigid cord covers to consumers anywhere in the world, he said.
The monitors -- made by Angelcare Monitors Inc., of Quebec, Canada -- include a sensor placed in the crib under the mattress to monitor the baby's movement. On all models that did not include cord covers, the sensor pad is connected to the monitor unit by an approximately 11-foot electrical cord, which "can be pulled into the crib and can wrap around the child's neck."
The recall covers all versions of Angelcare sensor monitors that did not come with the rigid cord covers, including numbers: AC1100, AC201, AC300, AC401 and 49255. The model numbers are located on the back of the nursery monitor unit. They were made between 1999 and 2013.
The company is offering a repair kit that includes rigid protective cord covers, a new, permanent warning label and revised instructions.
The monitors cost $100 to $300 and were sold between October 1999 and September 2013 at Babies R Us/Toys R Us, Burlington Coat Factory, Meijer, Sears, Walmart, Amazon.com, Target.com, Overstock.com, and almost 70 small baby-specialty stores.
"Consumers should immediately make sure cords are placed out of reach of the child and contact Angelcare toll-free at (855) 355-2643 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at www.angelcarebaby.com to order the free repair kit," the announcement said.
The CPSC announced in 2011 that there had been seven reports of strangulation by baby monitor cords since 2002. Since then, the number of deaths has risen to eight.
On Friday, eBay was offering 195 Angelcare monitors from as little as $0.99 to $260.00.
Selling recalled items is against the law, said CPSC's Wolfson, who added that his agency has an Internet surveillance unit to track down such sales.
"What our experience is in the areas of Internet sales is that consumers just don't know about recall announcements," he said. "They traditionally don't have malicious intent; they're just misinformed."
簡單的說..他從2004年到2011年之間
有兩個女嬰 分別是13個月大跟8個月大 因為連接在動作呼吸感應器的線
被小嬰兒拉到嬰兒床內造成繞頸死亡的意外
美國消費品安全委員會說廠商決定召回其下有呼吸監控器的那一片板子的相關產品
(包含AC1100、AC201、AC300、AC401、AC601和49255)
然後會提供一個工具包給全世界的使用者,大概就是怎麼樣把線隱藏好之類的
然後報導指稱從2002年到目前為止,已有8件因監視器線路產生嬰兒致死的意外(沒有說還有什麼牌子)

看完我跟我老公一整個傻眼...
本來以為是可以提供爸媽安心的產品,突然變成風險超高的產品
看來...我要馬只能等angelbaby改良產品再買
不然就是要投奔其他產品的懷抱了
至於為什麼台灣不能進口,那是因為NCC並沒有核准通過
並不是因為他電磁波超標或是什麼
這個大可放心,因為美國對無線產品的安規要求是沒有比台灣低的
我想只是單純沒有代理商談到這個產品
然後過台灣NCC安規又很貴,所以台灣很多人都買不到...也因此我想這件事情應該在台灣不會有太大影響吧
嗚嗚
p.s. 有些媽媽有推薦可以使用ubabycare
我先前在網路上也有看到一款產品叫做safe to sleep
價格比ubabycare便宜,也可以同時支援手機與遙控器
所以有興趣的媽媽可以去找看看
但是一樣...台灣好像也沒有賣><
