What’s the Problem?
The Criblike brand recalled approximately 117,900 aftermarket play-yard and non-full-sized crib mattresses after the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) found the mattresses may not properly fit certain play yards or mini-cribs, creating gaps that pose a deadly entrapment or suffocation hazard. [1]
The recall covers models XCD-001 and XCD-002 (play-yard size) and MNCL-001 (mini-crib size), sold on Amazon from May 2023 through September 2025 for approximately $20–$43. [2]
Despite no reported injuries at the time of recall, the gap hazard violates mandatory U.S. standards for crib mattresses and raises serious concerns for infant safety. [3]
Latest Updates
- November 6, 2025 – CPSC issues recall notice for Criblike play-yard and mini-crib mattresses due to entrapment and suffocation hazard. [1]
- November 7, 2025 – Media coverage confirms more than 117,000 units are included in the recall, urging immediate cessation of use. [2]
- November 8, 2025 – Legal commentary appears in product-liability reports highlighting the recall’s potential for litigation given the regulatory violation. [3]
Product & Usage Overview
The recalled Criblike mattresses include the “Pack and Play” after-market mattresses (models XCD-001, XCD-002) measuring approximately 38″ × 26″, and the mini-crib mattress (model MNCL-001) sized at 38″ × 24″. [1]
The importer was listed as Zhujisibeixuxinxizixunfuwubu d/b/a Mengna, of China, and the mattresses were sold exclusively online through Amazon between May 2023 and September 2025. [2]
The key concern is undersized fit. Because these after-market mattresses may not snugly fit certain play yards or non-full-sized cribs, infants can become trapped in gaps where their face may press against the mattress and side wall, preventing breathing. [3]
Injuries & Side Effects
- Entrapment risk – Gaps between mattress and side walls allow infants’ faces to become trapped, interfering with breathing.
- Suffocation risk – Infants pressed against mattress and rail may suffocate in a confined space without external trauma.
- Latent hazard – No injuries were reported at recall time, but the violation of mandatory standards suggests serious potential for harm in real-world use.
Do You Qualify for a Criblike Mattress Recall Lawsuit?
While no individual lawsuits have been publicly confirmed against Criblike yet, you may want to consult a qualified attorney if:
- You purchased or used a Criblike mattress (models XCD-001, XCD-002 or MNCL-001) between May 2023 and September 2025. [1]
- Your child was exposed to the mattress and you experienced or discovered an injury tied to entrapment or suffocation risk.
- You retained proof of purchase, product label or model number, and ideally have retained or destroyed the mattress per recall guidance.
- You are within your state’s statute of limitations (typically one to three years from injury or discovery).
Evidence You Should Gather
- Order confirmation from Amazon or receipt showing product name, model and purchase date.
- Photograph of mattress label or model number (XCD-001, XCD-002, MNCL-001) and any remaining product packaging.
- Photographs of mattress in setup including visible gap or poor fit in play yard or crib (if applicable).
- Any communication with importer or recall registration, and any medical or incident documentation if injury occurred.
Damages You Can Recover
- Medical costs — including emergency interventions, monitoring, rehabilitation if entrapment or suffocation occurred.
- Lost wages — if a caregiver missed work due to incident or infant’s treatment.
- Pain and suffering — encompassing physical trauma, emotional distress and long-term monitoring or consequences.
- Product costs — purchase price of the mattress and any related expenses (disposal, safe replacement, etc.).
Legal Theories & Liability Grounds
- Strict product liability – The mattress was designed and sold with a hazard that made it unreasonably unsafe for use in infant sleep or play scenarios.
- Negligence – The importer and distributor may have failed to test the product for proper sizing or compliance with mandatory standards.
- Failure to warn – Consumers were not alerted that the mattress did not comply with mandatory crib-mattress standards, leading to exposure risk.
- Breach of warranty – The product was marketed as suitable for infant use, yet failed to meet required safety standards and fit specifications.
Statute of Limitations & Timing
Jurisdictions typically allow one to three years from the date of injury or discovery of the defect to file a claim.
Because the recall notice was issued in November 2025 and no injuries had been reported at that time, monitoring is prudent.
Legal review now ensures preservation of evidence—including any remaining mattress and receipt—and strengthens your potential claim.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is there already a lawsuit filed? No publicly filed lawsuit against Criblike has been confirmed as of now; however individual cases may still be viable.
- What should I do if I own a recalled mattress? Immediately stop using the mattress, follow the recall instructions (destroy and photograph the mattress), and keep records of your actions. [1]
- Does an injury need to have occurred? While injury typically forms the basis for legal claims, you may still consult a lawyer if you purchased a non-compliant mattress and remain exposed to risk.
Why You Should Act Now
The Criblike mattress recall highlights hazardous non-compliance with mandatory infant-sleep and play-yard standards, posing serious risk of entrapment or suffocation.
Even though no injuries had been reported when the recall was issued, parents and caregivers should consider speaking with legal experts to evaluate potential claims and preserve all relevant evidence.
