IKEA Recalls SULTAN and VYSSA Crib Mattresses Due to Entrapment Risk

IKEA is expanding a recall of SULTAN and VYSSA crib mattresses because gaps between the mattress and crib ends could entrap infants.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (crib mattress) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria for entrapment hazards.

Plain-English summary

IKEA North America Services LLC is expanding a recall of approximately 300,000 SULTAN and VYSSA crib mattresses in the United States and 44,000 in Canada. The recall includes specific models such as SULTAN BLUNDA, SULTAN DRÖMMA, and VYSSA VACKERT. These mattresses, manufactured on May 4, 2014, or earlier, were sold at IKEA stores and online from October 2000 to May 2014.

The recalled mattresses may create a gap between the mattress and the ends of the crib that is larger than allowed by federal regulations. This gap poses an entrapment hazard to infants. IKEA has received two reports of infants becoming entrapped in these gaps, though the children were removed without injury.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mattresses and inspect them for gaps larger than the width of two fingers. If a gap is found, customers should return the mattress to any IKEA store for an exchange or a full refund. Additional information is available by calling IKEA toll-free at (888) 966-4532 or visiting www.ikea-usa.com.
