Play Yard and Crib Mattresses Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Entrapment and Fire Hazards; Violate Mandatory Standards for Mattresses; Sold on Amazon by Voomf
Safety Hazard & Failure Mechanism
The recalled mattresses violate the mandatory safety standard for crib mattresses because the mattresses may not adequately fit certain play yards, posing a deadly entrapment hazard. Babies can suffocate 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. Furthermore, the full-sized crib mattresses violate the mandatory flammability standard for mattress sets, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire.
Official Manufacturer Remedy
Consumers should stop using the mattresses immediately and contact Voomf for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the mattresses by writing in permanent marker "Recalled," cutting the play yard mattress in half and cutting the full-sized mattress cover diagonally across the entire mattress using scissors, and to send a photo of the destroyed mattress to voomfrecall@outlook.com. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product in accordance with local and/or state disposal procedures.
