What Parents In Southern Maryland Should Know: 12 Infant And Children's Products Recalled

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has flagged a dozen products made for infants and young children over the past several weeks, citing hazards ranging from suffocation and choking to battery ingestion and falls. Local parents, grandparents and caregivers are urged to check the list below against anything currently in use at home.

The CPSC is an independent federal agency that has protected consumers from unsafe products since 1973. Some of the notices below are full recalls, in which the company has agreed to offer a refund or repair. Others are public safety warnings, issued when a company has not agreed to a recall but the CPSC still wants consumers to stop using the product.

Criblike Aftermarket Play Yard And Non-Full-Size Crib Mattresses

Recall Date: July 2, 2026 | See the full CPSC notice here

Mengna, doing business as Criblike, is recalling aftermarket play yard and non-full-size crib mattresses sold on Amazon from May 2023 through September 2025 for between $20 and $60. The mattresses can leave a gap between the padding and the sides of a play yard or crib, and a baby’s face can become trapped in that gap, posing a suffocation risk. The mattresses also failed to meet the federal flammability standard for mattress sets.
