Modera Recalls Modera Pack N Play Mattresses Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Entrapment; Violates Mandatory Standard for Crib Mattresses
What's being recalled
Organic Cotton Pack N Play Mattress Dual-Sided Portable Baby Crib Pad
Units: About 15,000
This recall involves Modera "Pack N Play" Play Yard Mattress. The mattresses were sold in white, pink, blue, and gray, and have "Modera baby" printed on labels attached to the mattress. The mattresses are dual-sided, with one side labeled "infant" and the other side labeled "toddler." The dimensions of the mattress are 38 inches long, 26 inches wide and 1.5 inches thick.
The problem, in CPSC's words
The after-market play yard mattresses may not adequately fit certain play yards, which is in violation of the mandatory standard for crib mattresses, posing a deadly entrapment hazard. Babies have suffocated in gaps between an undersized mattress, or extra padding, and side walls of a product, especially when the infant's face becomes trapped against the side and the mattress, preventing the infant from breathing.
Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC
None reported
