The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Welspo-branded play yards because they pose a risk of serious injury or death from suffocation to infants.
Specifically, the play yards violate multiple provisions of the federal safety regulation for play yards, including mattress displacement, and they are missing required warnings and labels.
The CPSC is urging consumers to stop using and destroy all Welspo-branded play yards immediately. To destroy the product, first disassemble the fabric cover from the frame. Cut up the play yard cover and mattress pad, and then dispose of the pieces in the trash or recycling.
Bestrich, of Hong Kong, the retailer of this product and owner of the Welspo brand, has not agreed to offer an acceptable remedy to consumers.
The foldable play yards measure about 39 inches wide by 39 inches long by 30 inches high, and have mesh panels with red, blue, yellow and teal borders. Each panel features an animal motif with a lion, monkey, elephant and sun. The lion mesh panel is a zippered door. The play yards include a mattress with the same animal motifs and carrying bag. Welspo is printed on the side of the play yards and on the packaging. Model BP8305D and Baby Playpen are printed on the packaging.
The play yards were sold online on Welspo.com and Amazon.com from December 2023 through March 2024 for about $90.
These products were manufactured in China.
CPSC urges consumers to stop using and destroy all Welspo-branded play yards immediately. To destroy the product, first disassemble the fabric cover from the frame. Cut up the play yard cover and mattress pad, and then dispose of the pieces in the trash or recycling.
