IKEA(NEW YORK) — IKEA has expanded a recall of the company’s crib mattress to include additional models following reports that infants were becoming trapped between the mattress and the crib.
The company has received two reports so far of infants becoming entrapped between the mattress and an end of the crib, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a release on Friday. The children were removed from the gap without injury.
This recall affects close to 300,000 mattresses, which applies to any SULTAN or VYSSA crib mattress with the dimensions 52 inches in length by 27 ½ inches wide, with date of manufacture May 4, 2014 or earlier.
An identification label can be found on a permanent label attached to the mattress cover, showing date of manufacture, format and Model: SULTAN or VYSSA name. In the YY-WW format, mattresses with a date code of 14-18 or earlier are being recalled.
A gap between the mattress and crib ends larger than two finger width is an indication of the defective mattress, the CPSC said on Friday.
If any gap is larger, customers should immediately stop using the recalled mattresses and return it to any IKEA store for an exchange or a full refund.
