Is my product affected?

VYSSA crib mattress

  • Brand IKEA North America Services LLC, of Conshohocken, Pa.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

IKEA has recalled certain VYSSA style crib mattresses that may create gaps larger than federal regulations allow between the mattress and the ends of the crib, creating a risk that infants could become entrapped. The recalled models are VACKERT, VINKA, SPELEVINK, SLÖA, and SLUMMER, all manufactured on May 4, 2014 or earlier. You can identify the manufacture date by checking the label on the mattress cover, which shows the date in Month-DD-YYYY format along with the VYSSA model name.

To determine if your mattress is affected, inspect the gap between the mattress ends and crib by checking if it is larger than the width of two fingers. If the gap is larger than two fingers wide, you should stop using the mattress immediately. According to IKEA, affected consumers should return the recalled mattress to any IKEA store for either an exchange or a full refund.
