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: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: the standards violation poses a suffocation and entrapment hazard to infants, and the notice states no incidents have been reported.
Plain-English summary
Modera "Pack N Play" Play Yard Mattresses are being recalled. They were sold in white, pink, blue and gray with "Modera baby" on attached labels, are dual-sided with one side labeled infant and the other toddler, and measure 38 by 26 by 1.5 inches.
The after-market play yard mattresses may not adequately fit certain play yards, which violates the mandatory standard for crib mattresses and poses a deadly entrapment hazard. The CPSC states that babies have suffocated in gaps between an undersized mattress, or extra padding, and the side walls of a product, especially when an infant's face becomes trapped against the side and the mattress. No injuries or incidents have been reported.
About 15,000 units were sold on Amazon from April 2024 through June 2025 for between $30 and $44.
Consumers should immediately stop using the mattresses and contact Modera for a full refund, cutting the mattress in half and sending a photo of the destroyed mattress in the waste bin to [email protected].
