The company’s comments, in its own words

(1/31/2017) Evenflo Company, Inc.: After Evenflo received first notice of this incident via CPSC notification, the company contacted the consumer for more information. Apparently, the child was active in the BabySuite play yard unit and then began to cry. His caregivers determined that he must have caught his finger in the corner of the unit, but no parts appeared to be broken or loose in the photos sent by the consumer to Evenflo. The parent applied ointment to the child’s finger for swelling and no further medical attention was needed. Because the consumer is located in Trinidad, the company did not make arrangements for the unit to be returned for engineering inspection; however, the BabySuite play yard meets or exceeds all government safety standards applicable to play yards, including those for stability and sharp edges or finger entrapment hazards. Evenflo encourages all consumers with comments or concerns about its products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(9/11/2013) Evenflo Company, Inc.: Evenflo has no other reports of this occurrence with the Babysuite bassinet. The Evenflo® Babysuite™ 300 play yard includes a bassinet to accommodate children up to 15 lbs. The bassinet attaches to the top of the play yard via a combination of zippers and four plastic hooks near each end and utlilizes a mattress pad with two elongated Velcro strips on its underside that loop to the back side of the bassinet for secure attachment away from the child-occupant.
While the Babysuite meets all applicable federal safety regulations, two standards are relevant to this consumer’s concern. First, ASTM F-2194, the Consumer Safety Specification for Bassinets and Cradles, has a requirement that relates to mattress thickness and flatness to ensure that when an infant rolls on the mattress pad, they do not roll into an area where the angle created by the pad surface is greater than 10 degrees. The Babysuite mattress pad passes this test. Second, F-406 , the Consumer Safety Specification for non-full size cribs/play yards, includes a “mattress vertical displacement test,” ensuring that the mattress shall not displace vertically more than 5.25 inches (less than the 6-8 inches alleged by this consumer) when a force of 15 pounds is applied. (15 lbs. is the maximum weight limit of an infant permitted to use the bassinet). The Babysuite mattress pad also passes this test. Both of these standards ensure that the mattress pad will not lift up more than a marginal amount and will not entrap an appropriately-sized infant under it. It is likely that the mattress pad involved in this incident was not properly secured, enabling it to move freely within the baby’s sleeping space, as the mattress pad does not present a safety concern when properly installed in the Babysuite bassinet. The weight of the infant may also have been a contributing factor.
Evenflo has arranged for the return of this consumer’s play yard so that the product may be inspected, and this consumer exchanged the Babysuite for another Evenflo product. Evenflo encourages all consumers with feedback or questions about Evenflo products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

The product, in the report: Evenflo Babysuite Play yard in Circus Print.

My baby got trapped on more than one occasion between the mattress and the bottom of the playpen. At first I thought it was because the bottom is not heavy enough to put a normal playpen sheet on it. It seems to pull it up at the sides and it doesn’t fit right. I stopped using sheets and relied solely on the playpen’s design of [REDACTED] to keep the mattress down. To my dismay, this happened again today with a child that I was babysitting!! Thank GOD that I went in to check on the quiet little one to make sure she was asleep. Half of her face and body were underneath the mattress. She could have suffocated and I am so upset about this!!!! The mattress doesn’t sit tight against the sides like all other playpens that I have seen. There is quite a gap on all 4 sides, posing a suffocation hazard.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(7/30/2012) Evenflo Company, Inc.: This consumer contacted the CPSC when a child she was babysitting allegedly was able to crawl under the mattress pad in an Evenflo Babysuite™ playard. The consumer also claims that her own child has been able to crawl between the mattress and the floor of the playard on more than one occasion in three years of use. The consumer was concerned that the gap between the edge of the mattress pad and the edges of the playard is too large, allowing children to crawl under the mattress and creating a potential suffocation hazard. Neither child was injured.
This playard was manufactured in approximately late 2008/early 2009, based on the approximate purchase date the consumer provided, and it fully complies with safety standards ASTM F406-09 and 16 CFR 1509. Specifically, the standards stated that the mattress dimensions could not leave a gap of more than ½ inch at any point between the perimeter of the mattress (in a non-compressed state) and the perimeter of the crib. Moreover, the lower sides of the playard are comprised of a breathable mesh fabric allowing for easy airflow. Notably, this consumer stated that she was using a generic playpen sheet for some time with this three-year-old playard. This is contrary to the instructions provided with the product, due to fit issues and the possibility that a sheet not designed for the Babysuite could interfere with the Velcro connection points holding the mattress to the bottom of the playard. Because the mattress of the Babysuite complies with applicable standards and the area under the mattress is surrounded by breathable mesh fabric, Evenflo does not believe the Babysute poses a safety risk to children.
Evenflo encourages consumers with feedback or concerns regarding Evenflo products to contact the company directly at 1-800-233-5921 or on the web at safety.evenflo.com.
