Papablic Bedside Sleeper Recall: Stop Using Model PAPA03001AI Now, Refund Offered

Parents using a Papablic convertible bedside sleeper should move their baby to another safe sleep space immediately. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission says model PAPA03001AI does not meet the mandatory federal standard for play yards: the mattress can shift and trap a baby, and the locking mechanism can fail and collapse the frame. Papablic is offering a full refund.

Recall facts

How to identify it

The sleeper has a gray exterior, an interior printed with stars and moons, and "Papablic" stitched in white on the front gray fabric panel. Lift the mattress pad: the model number PAPA03001AI is on a label sewn to the inside fabric of the bassinet. If you bought a Papablic sleeper on Amazon, your order history will also show the listing.

What to do

1. Stop using it immediately, for sleep and for play.
2. Disassemble the sleeper and cut the mattress and fabric parts in half so it cannot be reused or resold.
3. Email photos of the destroyed parts to support@papablic.com. The refund is issued after Papablic receives the proof.
4. Dispose of the product once the refund is confirmed.
