Parents who bought a budget crib or play yard mattress from an Amazon seller called Mengna are being told to stop using it right away, after federal safety regulators determined the product can trap or suffocate an infant. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says the mattresses fail mandatory federal standards, and there is no repair available. Consumers are being told to destroy the product and request a refund instead.
What’s Included
The recall covers three “criblike” mattresses sold under the Mengna storefront on Amazon: the XCD-001 and XCD-002 pack-and-play mattresses, and the MNCL-001 mini-crib mattress. According to the CPSC’s recall notice, they were sold online between June 2025 and September 2025 for between $20 and $43.
The agency found the mattresses can be too small or oddly shaped for the play yards and cribs they’re meant to fit, leaving gaps along the sides. An infant can become wedged in that gap between the mattress edge and the product’s frame, creating a serious entrapment and suffocation risk. The mini-crib version also failed separate federal flammability standards for crib mattresses. No injuries had been reported to CPSC as of the recall’s publication.
What Consumers Should Do
Unlike recalls that offer a replacement part, this one requires consumers to destroy the mattress before they can be paid back. CPSC’s notice instructs owners to cut the mattress in half, take a photo of the destroyed product, and email that photo to [email protected] with “Recall Proof” and the buyer’s name in the subject line to receive a full refund.
Because the product was sold through a third-party Amazon storefront rather than a major retailer, CPSC is warning that some buyers may not receive an automatic recall notice the way they would from a bigger brand, so parents who bought an inexpensive crib or play yard mattress online in mid-to-late 2025 are being urged to check the model number against the recall listing directly rather than assume they weren’t affected.
Sleep-related suffocation remains one of the leading causes of infant injury and death in products meant for the nursery, which is why CPSC treats any mattress-fit issue as an urgent hazard rather than a routine defect. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ own updated safe sleep policy specifically calls for a firm, flat mattress that fits its crib or play yard snugly, with no gaps along the sides, as one of the core protections against accidental suffocation. Parents are advised to stop using the recalled mattress immediately, even temporarily, and to keep infants sleeping only on a mattress confirmed to fit that way.
Anyone unsure whether their mattress matches the recalled models can look up the model number printed on the product tag against the three listed above, or contact CPSC directly through its recall hotline for confirmation before continuing to use the item.
