Product Safety Warning Details
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using the Mommy & Me Pack & Play aftermarket mattresses immediately. These mattresses are purchased separately from play yards. The aftermarket mattresses violate the mandatory standard for crib mattresses, as the mattresses may not adequately fit certain play yards, posing a deadly entrapment hazard. Babies can suffocate in gaps between an undersized mattress, or extra padding, and side walls of a product, especially when the infant’s face becomes trapped against the side and the mattress, preventing the infant from breathing.
CPSC urges consumers to stop using the mattresses immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous products.
The mandatory standard for crib mattresses is designed to prevent infant injuries and deaths by enforcing specific requirements for aftermarket mattresses. It requires in part that aftermarket mattresses be tested and proven compatible with each specific model play yard or non-full-sized crib in which they are intended to be used. The use of aftermarket mattresses in non-compatible play yards and cribs is a serious hazard.
Consumers looking to replace the mattress for their play yard or non-full-sized crib should look for those that specify use in their particular model.
CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the manufacturer, Mommy & Me, LLC, of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Mommy & Me has not agreed to recall these products or offer an acceptable remedy to consumers.
This warning involves the Mommy & Me Pack & Play mattresses, model MNM-PNPMAT-WHT. The white mattresses measure about 38 inches by 26 inches. “Mommy & Me” and the model number are embroidered or printed on the mattresses’ labels. CPSC is aware the firm also sold other mattresses.

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.
