A popular Pack N Play mattress pad is being recalled due to a deadly safety concern.
On Oct. 30, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) urged parents everywhere to stop using the Modera Organic Cotton Pack N Play Mattress Dual-Sided Portable Baby Crib Pad.

According to the CPSC, the Modera crib mattress pad “may not adequately fit certain play yards which is in violation of the mandatory standard for crib mattresses, posing a deadly entrapment hazard.”
The CPSC also warned that “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.”

It’s also dual-sided, with one side designed for infants and the other designed for toddlers.
What to do if you purchased a Modera Pack N Play Mattress Pad
The CPSC urges parents to “stop using the recalled mattresses” and “cut the mattresses in half.” Photos of the damaged mattress in a waste bin can be sent to recall@moderababy.com for a full refund.
There have been no reported incidents or injuries at this time.
