Important Recall Alert: DODO Baby House Pack and Play Mattresses
DODO Baby House has issued a recall for its Pack and Play Mattresses, exclusively sold on Amazon.com. This recall, dated November 30, 2023, covers about 1,650 units of the product and addresses critical safety concerns that violate federal safety regulations for crib mattresses. The recall specifically targets the DODO Baby House Pack and Play Mattresses with the model number YX-04.
The hazard associated with these mattresses is the risk of suffocation to infants. The recalled products have been found to violate multiple aspects of federal safety regulations pertaining to crib mattresses. These violations include failing the thickness test and lacking essential warnings and labels. Such shortcomings present a significant suffocation hazard, posing a grave risk to infant safety. The design of the mattresses, failing to meet the stringent safety standards, raises concerns about their ability to provide a safe sleeping environment for infants.
Identification and Description of the Recalled Product
The recalled mattresses can be identified by the model number YX-04 and a specific manufacturing date. Consumers can find the date of manufacture on a tag on the edge of the mattress, formatted as “YYYY.MM” to represent the year and month. Only those manufactured on or after August 15, 2022, are included in this recall. The mattresses in question are 38 inches long and 26 inches wide, featuring a light blue color with white triangles printed on the top and bottom. Additionally, a small dark blue tag with a cartoon teddy bear holding a ball is present on the mattress, aiding in identification.
Recommended Course of Action for Consumers
Consumers who have purchased these mattresses are advised to immediately cease their use and take steps to destroy them. The recommended method of destruction is to cut the mattresses in half. Following this, consumers should contact DODO Baby House via the provided email address (recallD336@outlook.com) with photos of the destroyed product to claim a full refund. Both DODO Baby House and Amazon are proactively reaching out to purchasers to inform them of this recall and the necessary steps for a refund.
These mattresses were sold exclusively online through Amazon.com from February 2023 to June 2023, retailing for about $34. The product’s manufacturing and retail were handled by DODO Baby House, based in China, underlining the global nature of product distribution and the importance of maintaining safety standards across borders.
This recall serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of adhering to safety regulations, especially when it comes to products designed for vulnerable populations such as infants. For parents and caregivers, it underscores the need for vigilance in selecting products for their children, ensuring that they meet all safety standards. As the situation progresses, it is imperative for consumers who have purchased these mattresses to follow the recall instructions to ensure the safety of their infants.
