Name of Product: Hiccapop PlayPad play yard mattresses model HP-TPM-2

Hazard: The mattresses fail to meet federal thickness and dimension requirements for play yard mattresses sold separately from play yards, resulting in a dangerous gap between mattress and the play yard side. 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 play yard or the mattress, preventing the infant from breathing.

Consumer Action: CPSC urges consumers to stop using and dispose of the play yard mattresses immediately. Do not sell or give away these hazardous mattresses.

Description:

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Hiccapop PlayPad play yard mattresses model HP-TPM-2, which are sold separately from play yards. The mattresses fail to meet federal thickness and dimension requirements for play yard mattresses sold separately from play yards, resulting in a dangerous gap between mattress and the play yard side. 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 play yard or the mattress, preventing the infant from breathing.
