CPSC warns consumers to stop using Hiccapop PlayPad Mattresses due to serious injury hazard

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Hiccapop PlayPad play yard mattresses model HP-TPM-2, which are sold separately from play yards. The mattresses fail to meet federal thickness and dimension requirements for play yard mattresses sold separately from play yards, resulting in a dangerous gap between mattress and the play yard side. Babies have suffocated in gaps between an undersized mattress, or extra padding, and side walls of a product, especially when the infant’s face becomes trapped against the play yard or the mattress, preventing the infant from breathing.

The CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the manufacturer, Keezio Group LLC, of Alamo, California, doing business as Hiccapop. Keezio Group LLC has not agreed to recall these play yard mattresses or offer a remedy to consumers.

Over 108,000 play yard mattresses were sold online at various platforms including but not limited to Amazon.com from March 2024 through November 2024 for between $24 and $120. The mattresses measure 37.5 inches by 26.5 inches and are labeled with “hiccapop PlayPad”, model number “HP-TPM-2” and “mfg. date” on or after 09/22 (September 2022).

These products were manufactured in China.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using and dispose of the play yard mattresses immediately. Do not sell or give away these hazardous mattresses.

Parents and caregivers are reminded:

• Use only the mattress provided with your play yard or a mattress that specifically identifies the brand and model number of your play yard.
• Do not use supplemental padding in a play yard and never stack mattresses.
• Use a fitted sheet only and never add blankets, pillows, padded crib bumpers, or other items to an infant’s sleeping environment.
