Check the baby mattress now. CPSC says some Criblike aftermarket mattresses should be stopped immediately

• Checked: 2026-07-08 05:20 KST
• Source set: CPSC product safety warning dated July 2, 2026, earlier CPSC recall dated November 6, 2025, and the federal crib-mattress standard

If you bought a separate mattress for a play yard or mini crib, this is a check-now item. CPSC says Criblike aftermarket mattresses can leave dangerous gaps in some products, creating a risk of serious injury or death from entrapment or suffocation.

The useful point is the agency language: stop using the mattresses immediately. CPSC says babies can suffocate in gaps between an undersized mattress, extra padding, and the side walls of the product if the infant's face becomes trapped. The warning also says the non-full-sized crib mattresses tested by CPSC failed the mandatory flammability requirement for mattress sets.

Who should check now

• Families who bought replacement infant mattresses on Amazon during May 2023 through May 2025
• Homes using any separately purchased mattress inside a play yard or mini crib
• Anyone using a hand-me-down mattress with a storage bag or missing original packaging
• Cross-border or gift buyers who may not have seen a U.S. recall email

What product details matter

• Models: XCD-001, XCD-002, and MNCL-001
• Size guide: XCD-001 and XCD-002 are about 38 x 26 inches, and MNCL-001 is about 38 x 24 inches
• Color: white
• Label clue: Criblike and the model number are printed on an end label
• Extra clue: MNCL-001 units with a manufacture date of March 2025 or earlier are specifically called out

Important carve-out

CPSC says this warning does not apply to MNCL-001 units with a manufacture date beginning in April 2025 used with a Dream On Me Model 628 mini crib. That means MNCL-001 owners need to check both the manufacture date and the exact crib match, not just the model number alone.

What to do today

1. Remove any separately purchased mattress from the baby sleep space first, then confirm what the original product came with.
2. Photograph the label showing Criblike, the model number, and the manufacture date.
3. Even if you remember the 2025 recall, recheck whether your purchase falls into the broader sales window named in the 2026 warning.
4. If it matches the warning, stop use immediately and dispose of it. If your unit falls into the earlier recall, follow the official refund instructions there.
5. If there was an incident or defect, report it at SaferProducts.gov.

Why the warning returned

CPSC says the seller agreed to a joint recall on November 6, 2025 for units sold from June 2025 through September 2025, but did not agree to a wider recall for units sold during May 2023 through May 2025. That is why this warning matters even if you already saw an older recall notice.

User checklist

• Did I add any aftermarket mattress to a play yard or mini crib
• Does the label show Criblike, XCD-001, XCD-002, or MNCL-001
• Was the Amazon order placed between May 2023 and May 2025
• If it is MNCL-001, is the manufacture date April 2025 or later and is it used only with a Dream On Me Model 628 mini crib

Bottom line: The practical move now is checking the exact label, manufacture date, and crib compatibility before the next sleep, not assuming all mini-crib mattresses are interchangeable.
