Parents Told to Stop Using Mattress and Sling

Two baby products got the same instruction from the federal government on November 12, 2026: stop using them now. The Consumer Product Safety Commission warned against Mommy & Me Pack & Play aftermarket mattresses and Bambora sling carriers in two separate notices, and in both cases the seller has not agreed to a recall or offered parents their money back.

The mattress warning covers about 13,278 units. The white mattresses measure about 38 inches by 26 inches and carry the model number MNM-PNPMAT-WHT. They're bought separately from play yards, and that's the problem: an aftermarket mattress may not fit the play yard it lands in, and a gap between the mattress edge and the play yard wall is a place where a baby can become trapped and suffocate.

The commission says the mattresses violate the mandatory standard for crib mattresses, which requires an aftermarket mattress to be tested for each play yard model it's meant for. One use is carved out of the warning. It doesn't apply when the mattress is used in the matching Mommy & Me Play Yard, model MNM-PMP-BLCK.

The mattresses sold on Amazon.com from July 2025 through September 2025 for about $36, and the commission says they may also have been sold through other sites and third-party sellers. The manufacturer is Mommy & Me, LLC, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, and the products were made in China. The commission sent the company a Notice of Violation, and Mommy & Me hasn't agreed to recall the mattresses or offer an acceptable remedy.

The sling warning is about a strap, not a fit. Bambora sling carriers have a restraint strap that can fail and come apart, so the carrier can open and a baby can fall. The commission says that failure violates the mandatory standard for sling carriers, and it classifies the hazard as a risk of serious injury or death from a fall.

The carriers came in several prints, including Blue Sailboat and Floral, with an adjustable black strap. "Bambora" and "Bambora Sling Carrier" are printed on a label stitched on the end of the strap, which is the fastest way to check a carrier already in the house. They sold at Bamboraco.com for $59 to $118 and were made in China. The commission sent Bambora a Notice of Violation, and Bambora hasn't responded to it.

No incidents or injuries have been reported for either product. That doesn't soften the instruction, because both hazards are the kind that don't give a warning first. A gap at the edge of a mattress and a strap that lets go are failures a parent can't see coming during normal use.

The disposal instructions differ slightly, and both end the same way: don't sell the product and don't give it away. Mattress owners should stop using the mattress immediately and dispose of it. Sling owners should stop using the carrier, cut the fabric in half so it can't be used again, and then dispose of it.

The distinction that matters here is warning versus recall. A recall usually carries a remedy the seller has agreed to: a refund, a repair or a replacement. These are warnings, issued because the sellers haven't agreed to that step, so there's no company refund, no replacement and no prepaid return waiting at the end of a form. Parents who bought either product are being told to absorb the loss and remove the hazard, and the commission's notices are the whole of the remedy on offer today.
