4moms play yard sheets recalled for suffocation hazard

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation with 4Moms, yesterday announced a voluntary recall of about 1,440 breeze™ Cotton Jersey Playard Sheets because the sheets are too small for the play yards.

While there have been no injuries reported the CPSC notes that sheet that does not properly fit the play yard poses an entrapment hazard that could lead to suffocation.

The recalled sheets were sold as an accessory to the 4moms Breeze play yard. They are cream-colored sheets and made of a cotton jersey material. Look for "4moms" on a black tag on the sheets. The item number (4M-009-10-000101) and UPC (817980011137) can be found on the packaging. The UPC is also printed on a white tag sewn into the sheets.

The sheets were sold at Buy Buy Baby and other juvenile product stores nationwide and online at Buybuybaby.com from December 2012 through January 2013 for about $15. They were made in China.

Consumers should stop using the recalled play yard sheets immediately and return them to 4moms for a full refund. 4moms, toll-free at (888) 977-3944 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at www.4moms.com and click on Recall for more information on a refund.
