The Swedish furniture store IKEA is expanding a recall of crib mattresses.
Parents are being warned to immediately check the mattresses in certain crib models. This new expansion follows the original recall that was announced back in January.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website, the mattresses could create a gap between the mattress and crib ends larger than allowed by federal regulations, posing an entrapment hazard to infants. IKEA says its received two reports of infants becoming trapped, but they were not injured.
Parents should inspect the mattresses immediately, by making sure there is no gap larger than the width of two fingers between the ends of the crib and the mattress. If any gap is larger, customers should immediately stop using the recalled mattresses and return it to any IKEA store for an exchange or a full refund.
This new recall involves 131,000 SULTAN crib mattresses. The January recalls involved about 169,000 VYSSA crib mattresses. Thousands of the cribs were also sold in Canada.
