Ikea Recalls 169,000 Crib Mattresses over Entrapment Risk
Published at
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission(WASHINGTON) — Ikea is recalling about 169,000 crib mattresses in the U.S. over an entrapment hazard.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recall involves Ikea’s Vyssa-style crib mattresses with the model names Vackert, Vinka, Spelevink, Sloa and Slummer. The mattresses were sold at Ikea stores nationwide and online between August 2010 and May 2014.
The CPSC says the mattresses could create a gap between the mattress and crib larger than the width of two fingers, making it possible for infants to become entrapped.
So far, Ikea has received two reports of entrapment. None of the children involved were injured.
Customers with affected mattresses are advised to stop using them immediately and return them to any of the furniture retailer’s stores for an exchange or full refund.
