Recall Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Cosco Inc., of Columbus, Ind., is recalling about 62,000 mattresses sold with tubular metal cribs. When a baby stands up in the crib, the mattress can compress and be pushed between the bars on the crib's platform. The baby can slip between the bars on the crib's platform and become entrapped.
Cosco has received 12 complaints of mattresses compressing and entrapping babies. An 11-month old baby boy died after becoming entrapped.
Cosco is offering consumers a $25 check for consumers to purchase a new mattress on their own.
The mattresses were sold with Cosco model "M" tubular metal cribs, manufactured from July 1994 through September 1997. The "M" is the third character in the model number. The model number and manufacturing date are stamped on a label on the bottom of the crib's end panel. The cribs come in a variety of colors, including red, white, mixed primary and mixed pastels. "Cosco" is written on the crib's label and on the mattress' tag. The date of delivery also is written on the mattress' tag. Mass merchandise and juvenile products stores nationwide sold these cribs and mattresses for up to $150.
Consumers should immediately stop using the crib or place a board, measuring 51-5/8 inches long by 27-1/4 inches wide, between the crib's mattress and platform. Consumers should contact Cosco at (800) 221-6736 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. EST Monday through Friday or at www.coscoinc.com to participate in this recall. Cosco will help consumers identify whether their cribs are involved in this recall. Once they get the new mattress, they should destroy the old mattress by cutting it into at least three pieces.
Cosco model "M" cribs manufactured after September 1997 have a different mattress and model "T" cribs are sold without mattresses. Neither of these cribs are involved in this recall.

The recalled nursing pillows advertised for infant feeding and tummy time violate the mandatory safety standards for nursing pillows and infant support cushions because they can obstruct an infant’s breathing, posing a serious risk of injury or death from suffocation.
The recalled baby loungers violate the mandatory safety standard for infant sleep products. The sides are too low to contain an infant and the enclosed openings at the foot of the loungers are wider than allowed, posing serious risks of fall and entrapment hazards to infants. In addition, the baby loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard if used on elevated surfaces. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment and can cause death or serious injury.
The baby loungers violate the mandatory standard for Infant Sleep Products because the sides are shorter than the minimum side height limit to secure the infant; the sleeping pad’s thickness exceeds the maximum limit, posing a suffocation hazard; and an infant could fall out of an enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger or become entrapped. The portable loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
The recalled car seat adapters can fail to properly attach to the stroller, which may allow the car seat to fall, posing a risk of serious injury from a fall hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
