Latest Ultra-Lite Play Yard Recall Developments

October 2026

October 30, 2026 – A current review of CPSC recall, regulatory, safety, litigation, and settlement materials confirms that the Ultra-Lite Day & Night Play Yard inclined sleeper recall remains part of the federal recall record. CPSC continues to identify the recalled product as the inclined sleeper accessory included with all models of the Fisher-Price Ultra-Lite Day & Night Play Yard. [1]

Fisher-Price’s current recall listings also continue to identify the Ultra-Lite Day & Night Play Yard recall and the affected model numbers. The cited CPSC and Fisher-Price materials document the recall and subsequent federal infant-sleep restrictions but do not themselves describe a coordinated Ultra-Lite Play Yard litigation proceeding or settlement. [2]

Federal law is now substantially stricter than it was when the recall occurred. Covered inclined sleepers for infants with sleep surfaces greater than 10 degrees are banned hazardous products, and the federal prohibition applies regardless of when a product was manufactured. [3]

June 2019

June 27, 2019 – CPSC and Fisher-Price announced the recall of approximately 71,000 inclined sleeper accessories included with Ultra-Lite Day & Night Play Yards. CPSC cited infant fatalities involving other inclined sleep products after infants rolled from their backs onto their stomachs or sides while unrestrained or under other circumstances. [1]

What Is the Ultra-Lite Play Yard Recall?

The recall concerns the inclined sleeper accessory packaged with Fisher-Price Ultra-Lite Day & Night Play Yards.

The play yard itself was sold as a portable product with an inclined sleeper, changing station accessory, and carry bag. CPSC specifically states that only the inclined sleeper accessory was recalled.

Why Was the Ultra-Lite Play Yard Sleeper Recalled?

The recall was issued because of growing safety concerns involving inclined infant sleepers.

CPSC stated that infant fatalities had occurred in other inclined sleep products after babies rolled from their backs onto their stomachs or sides while unrestrained or under other circumstances. The Ultra-Lite recall was therefore a preventive action based on the broader inclined-sleeper hazard.

Which Ultra-Lite Play Yard Models Were Recalled?

The recalled inclined sleeper accessory was included with Ultra-Lite Day & Night Play Yards bearing the following model numbers:

• CBV60
• CHP86
• CHR06
• CJK24
• DJD11

CPSC states that the model number appears on a fabric label inside the play yard and on the fabric label located on the back of the inclined sleeper pad.

How Many Ultra-Lite Play Yard Sleepers Were Recalled?

Approximately 71,000 inclined sleeper accessories were included in the June 2019 recall.

The recall involved all affected Ultra-Lite Day & Night Play Yard models containing the inclined sleeper accessory rather than a single color or design.

Were Any Injuries Reported?

No incidents or injuries involving the recalled Fisher-Price Ultra-Lite sleeper accessory were reported when CPSC announced the recall.

This distinction is important because the deaths cited in the recall announcement involved other inclined infant sleep products. Those fatalities should not be described as deaths caused by the Ultra-Lite Play Yard sleeper accessory.

Why Are Inclined Infant Sleepers Dangerous?

Inclined sleepers can allow an infant’s head or body to move into a position that interferes with normal breathing. Younger infants may not have sufficient neck strength or mobility to move themselves out of a compromised position.

CPSC later reported 1,108 incidents involving infant inclined sleep products between January 2005 and June 2019, including 73 infant deaths. Those statistics concern inclined sleepers generally and are not Ultra-Lite Play Yard-specific. [4]

How Was the Ultra-Lite Sleeper Marketed?

Fisher-Price product materials described the Ultra-Lite Day & Night Play Yard as a portable product intended for sleeping, playing, and changing.

Archived Fisher-Price product pages described the removable inclined sleeper as a place where infants could nap or sleep. Current Fisher-Price product pages for affected models now identify those products as recalled. [5]

Can Parents Still Use the Ultra-Lite Play Yard?

Yes, but not with the recalled inclined sleeper accessory.

CPSC states that consumers can continue using the play yard portion without the inclined sleeper. The changing station accessory and carry bag can also continue to be used according to the recall notice.

What Was the Ultra-Lite Play Yard Recall Remedy?

Consumers were instructed to immediately stop using the inclined sleeper accessory and contact Fisher-Price.

The recall remedy was a refund or voucher. CPSC did not instruct consumers to discard the entire play yard because the recall applied specifically to the inclined sleeper accessory.

Where Were Ultra-Lite Play Yards Sold?

The affected products were sold at juvenile product stores and mass merchandisers nationwide.

CPSC states that they were sold from October 2014 through June 2019 for approximately $90 to $110. Fisher-Price of East Aurora, New York, was identified as the importer, and the products were manufactured in China. [1]

Were Recalled Ultra-Lite Products Sold After the Recall?

CPSC later identified the Ultra-Lite Day & Night Play Yard inclined sleeper among products that had been sold by T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods after recalls were announced.

In December 2019, CPSC and TJX warned consumers that approximately 1,200 units across 19 different recalled product categories had been sold after their respective recalls. The Ultra-Lite sleeper accessory was among the recalled products listed in that warning. [6]

Is the Ultra-Lite Recall the Same as the Rock ‘n Play Recall?

No. The Ultra-Lite Day & Night Play Yard recall and the Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play Sleeper recall involve different products and different recall actions.

The Rock ‘n Play recall originally involved approximately 4.7 million sleepers and was associated with numerous reported infant deaths. Those deaths should not be attributed to the Ultra-Lite sleeper accessory, for which CPSC reported no incidents or injuries at the time of recall.

Are Inclined Infant Sleepers Now Banned?

Yes. Covered inclined sleepers for infants are now banned hazardous products under federal law.

The Safe Sleep for Babies Act applies to products with a sleep surface greater than 10 degrees that are intended, marketed, or designed to provide sleeping accommodations for an infant up to one year old. The federal ban became effective November 12, 2022. [3]

How Did Federal Infant Sleep Rules Change?

CPSC’s Infant Sleep Products rule took effect on June 23, 2022 and established mandatory requirements for products marketed or intended for infant sleep.

Covered products must have a sleep surface angle of 10 degrees or less and meet applicable federal sleep-product requirements. CPSC said the rule was intended to create a safer marketplace and remove noncompliant infant sleep products. [7]

What Does CPSC Recommend for Safe Infant Sleep?

CPSC recommends placing babies on their backs on a firm, flat sleep surface in a crib, bassinet, play yard, or other product specifically designed and approved for infant sleep.

Parents should not use inclined rockers, gliders, soothers, swings, or similar products as sleeping environments. If an infant falls asleep in an inclined product, the baby should be moved to an appropriate firm, flat sleep surface.

Who May Be Affected by the Ultra-Lite Play Yard Recall?

Parents, grandparents, daycare providers, babysitters, and other caregivers who purchased or used an affected Ultra-Lite Day & Night Play Yard may be affected by the recall.

Families should preserve the play yard, sleeper accessory, model labels, photographs, receipts, packaging, instructions, medical records, and other evidence if an infant experienced breathing difficulties, loss of consciousness, a fall, or another documented injury.

Who May Be Liable for an Ultra-Lite Play Yard Injury?

Potential liability depends on the facts of an individual incident and applicable state law.

A manufacturer, importer, distributor, retailer, or another company involved in placing the product into commerce could potentially be evaluated in a product-liability case. Possible theories may include defective design, failure to warn, negligence, manufacturing defect, or breach of warranty.

A product recall does not automatically establish that Fisher-Price or another party is legally liable for a particular injury.

Do I Qualify for an Ultra-Lite Play Yard Claim?

• Did your family own or use a recalled Fisher-Price Ultra-Lite Day & Night Play Yard with an inclined sleeper accessory?
• Did an infant suffer breathing difficulty, loss of consciousness, suffocation, a fall, or another documented injury?
• Can you identify the product model or preserve the sleeper accessory, labels, photographs, receipts, or instructions?
• Did the incident result in medical treatment, hospitalization, permanent injury, or other documented losses?

Answering yes to one or more questions does not automatically establish a lawsuit. An attorney can evaluate product identification, the circumstances of use, warnings, medical evidence, causation, damages, and applicable filing deadlines.

Compensation in an Ultra-Lite Play Yard Injury Case

Depending on the circumstances, potential damages may include emergency medical expenses, hospitalization, future medical care, caregiver lost income, pain and suffering, funeral expenses in a fatal case, and other losses recoverable under applicable law.

Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
