Modera baby dual-sided "Pack N Play" play yard mattresses were sold on Amazon. They were recalled because they may not fit certain play yards properly, violating the mandatory standard for crib mattresses and posing an entrapment hazard; babies have suffocated in gaps between undersized mattresses and play yard sides.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mattresses and contact Modera for a full refund. Consumers should cut the mattresses in half and send a photo of the destroyed mattress in the waste bin to recall@moderababy.com to receive a full refund.

Official notice

CPSC's own wording, unchanged.

Hazard

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.

Sold at

Amazon from April 2024 through June 2025 for between $30 and $44.
