Pack-and-Play Mattresses Recalled: Is Your Baby at Risk?
The baby mattresses were only sold on Amazon.
20,000 infant beds recalled due to mattress issues. Check your pack-and-play mattress.
🚨 Attention all parents! 🚨 If you have a “pack-and-play” mattress for your little one, you might want to sit down for this news. About 20,000 of these portable mattresses have been recalled due to a potential suffocation risk. Yikes! 😱
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued two separate recalls for these mattresses, which were sold on Amazon between August 2022 and August 2023. So, if you purchased one during that time, this article is a must-read! Let’s learn more about the details of the recalls and how to keep your baby safe.
The Recall
In the first recall, the mattresses were sold under two names: “Spring Spirit” and “Biloban.” The retailer is Hangzhou Sharejoy Ecommerce Co. Ltd, also known as Biloban. The second recall involves “Magik and Kover” pack-and-play mattresses. Both of these mattresses were sold for around $40. 😲
No injuries have been reported, but these mattresses violate multiple safety regulations for crib mattresses. For example, they don’t meet the required thickness of at least 4 inches, and they lack necessary warnings and labels. To make matters worse, they’re also missing batch numbers and manufacturing dates. It’s like these mattresses went rogue! 🤦♀️
But fear not! We’re here to guide you through this recall process and help you ensure your baby’s safety 🙌

How to Check If Your Baby’s Mattress Is Recalled
If you purchased a pack-and-play mattress between August 2022 and August 2023, it’s crucial to confirm whether or not it’s part of the recall. Here’s what you need to look for:
-
Biloban Mattresses: The recalled Biloban mattresses have a white pattern with gray stars and feature a “Biloban” print. The bottom or underside of the mattress is gray, and you’ll find the word “Biloban” printed on the tag. On the tag stapled to the mattress cover, look for batch number 2304US and a manufacturing date between August 2022 and July 2023.
-
Spring Spirit Mattresses: These mattresses are “trifold” with a bamboo pattern. You’ll see the words “Spring Spirit” printed on the mattress tag. Another tag on the mattress cover will display the batch number 230315US and a manufacturing date between August 2022 and July 2023.
-
Waterproof Play Yard Mattresses: This recall also includes a waterproof play yard mattress with a white cover. Check for a tag inside the cover that reads “CertiPUR-US.” The back of that tag should feature batch number 221002US and a manufacturing date between August 2022 and July 2023. There is another tag that says “STANDARD 100” according to the recall.
What to Do If Your Mattress Is Recalled
If you discover that your baby’s mattress is part of the recall, it’s important to take immediate action. The USCPC, Amazon, Biloban, and Magik and Kover are contacting consumers directly. However, it’s still advisable to stop using the mattress right away and “destroy” it to ensure it doesn’t end up in someone else’s hands. Safety first! 👶

If your pack-and-play mattress isn’t included in this recall, you might be breathing a sigh of relief. But wait! Before you relax too much, let’s not forget about the recall that happened last December for similar mattresses also sold on Amazon. It’s always better to be safe than sorry! ⚠️
Now, go check your baby’s mattress, get it tested, and make sure it meets all the safety standards. We want nothing but sweet dreams and peace of mind for your little one! 💤❤️
