on

**Summary**

**If you purchased a Vibe Bear playard mattress between January and June 2023, you should immediately stop using it and contact Beyond Baby for a full refund.** The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of these mattresses on November 30 2023 due to a violation of the federal safety regulation for crib mattresses. The mattresses are too thin and lack required warnings and labels, posing a suffocation hazard to infants.

**Additional Information**

The CPSC is urging parents and caregivers to be aware of the dangers of suffocation in playards. Infants should always be placed on their backs on a firm, flat mattress that fits snugly in the playard. There should be no gaps between the mattress and the playard frame.

**Please share this information with anyone who may have purchased a Vibe Bear playard mattress.** By working together, we can help keep all babies safe.

**Here are some additional tips for preventing suffocation in playards:**

* **Never use a mattress that is not specifically designed for a playard.**

* **Do not use loose bedding, pillows, or blankets in the playard.**

* **Keep the playard free of toys and other objects that could create a suffocation hazard.**

* **Always supervise your baby when they are in the playard.**

**P.S.** I would also like to add that it is important to register your child's playard with the manufacturer so that you can be notified of any recalls. You can usually do this on the manufacturer's website.
