Thousands of crib and toddler mattresses recalled because of fire hazard

Here is an important note for parents: Dream On Me, the popular manufacturer of baby and toddler items, is recalling more than 23,000 mattresses for repair.

The company says that the affected baby and toddler mattresses do not meet federal flammability standards. This means that they could be a fire hazard.

The crib mattresses were sold at Amazon.com, Wayfair.com, Kohls.com, Walmart.com and ToysRUs.com. They retailed for $40 to $90.

The affected items were sold between January 2016 and December 2016.

If you suspect you bought one of these mattresses, but are not sure, don’t worry. It is easy to confirm if your child’s mattress is on this list.

First, look at the tag imposed on the top of the mattress. It will state the model number.

Then check the number against this list (below) from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, which provides the model numbers for each of the recalled mattresses from Dream On Me:

If your child’s mattress is on the list, remove it from their bed right away. Then, call Dream On Me toll-free at 877-201-4317 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday. The recall number is: 18-058.

You can also contact them online at www.dreamonme.com or email them at info@dreamonme.com.

Customers who bought these now-recalled mattresses will be given a mattress cover which does meet federal flammability standards for free.

No injuries have been reported from the use of these recalled mattresses, but it’s important that parents still take steps to remove or update these potentially harmful items from their home and receive a safe replacement from the Dream On Me company.

Correction 12/28/17: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Dream On Me would provide compliant replacements to those who had purchased mattresses that are part of this recall. Dream On Me will provide a compliant mattress cover—not a new mattress—that will bring the mattress into compliance with federal safety standards. We regret the error.
