IKEA has announced a recall of their popular VYSSA crib mattresses due to a risk of entrapment. The Swedish furniture giant has received reports of infants becoming trapped between the mattress and the crib, posing a serious safety hazard. The recall affects all VYSSA crib mattresses sold at IKEA stores and online between 2000 and 2014. The company has urged customers to immediately stop using the recalled mattresses and return them for a full refund or exchange.1. IKEA recalls VYSSA crib mattresses due to risk of entrapment
This is not the first time IKEA has had to recall their crib mattresses. In 2015, the company recalled over 300,000 VYSSA crib mattresses due to a similar entrapment risk. The current recall affects approximately 169,000 mattresses in the United States and 44,000 in Canada. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the gap between the mattress and the crib should not exceed two finger widths for safety reasons. However, the VYSSA crib mattresses have been found to be too small for some cribs, creating a larger gap and posing a risk of entrapment for infants.2.
