Approximately 169,000 IKEA VYSSA crib mattresses are being recalled because they can create a gap against the crib ends that exceeds federal safety regulations. This defect has already led to two reports of infants becoming trapped between the mattress and the crib frame, though no injuries were sustained. The recall includes five specific mattress models: VACKERT, VINKA, SPELEVINK, SLÖA, and SLUMMER, which were sold at IKEA stores and online between August 2010 and May 2014. Consumers should immediately check their mattress for safety and can return affected products for a full refund or exchange.
The mattresses may not fit snugly against the crib ends, creating a gap wider than two fingers. This poses an entrapment hazard where an infant's head or body could become stuck in the space between the mattress and the crib frame, potentially leading to suffocation or serious injury.
Consumers should inspect the recalled mattress by making sure there is no gap larger than the width of two fingers between the ends of the crib and the mattress. If any gap is larger, customers should immediately stop using the recalled mattresses and return it to any IKEA store for an exchange or a full refund.
