CPSC Issues Stop-Use Notice for Mbabyjon Padded Crib Bumpers — What Parents Need to Do Now

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a stop-use notice for Mbabyjon padded crib bumpers, ordering families to stop using them immediately and remove them from their baby's sleep space. The notice, issued October 1, is part of the CPSC's enforcement of the Safe Sleep for Babies Act — a federal law that bans padded crib bumpers in the United States.

If you have Mbabyjon bumpers in your child's crib right now, take them out today. Don't store them for later use, don't pass them along to another family, and don't assume your version might be exempt. The product is banned, and using it creates a risk of suffocation and entrapment.

About the Mbabyjon Notice

The CPSC stop-use notice covers Mbabyjon padded crib bumpers specifically. These products may have been purchased online — particularly through third-party marketplace sellers — after the Safe Sleep for Babies Act went into effect. Some items that were already in circulation before the ban, or products sold through channels that don't strictly enforce compliance, have continued to appear in homes.

If you're not sure whether you have Mbabyjon bumpers, check the product packaging or tag. The CPSC's official recall page at cpsc.gov lists affected products with descriptions and, in many cases, photos that help identify them.

The CPSC does not offer a refund or exchange process for stop-use notices of this type. The directive is simply to stop using and dispose of the product.

Quick Reference

A Good Time for a Nursery Audit

October has brought multiple CPSC actions affecting baby products. Earlier this month, the CPSC also recalled ONTHEWEI baby bath seats. If you haven't done a nursery safety review recently, this is a reasonable moment to go through what you have.

Key questions: Are there any items in your baby's crib besides a fitted sheet and a sleep sack? Do your baby's bath seats, bouncers, or inclined sleepers appear on the CPSC recall list? Are any products in your home showing signs of wear, recalls, or manufacturer warnings you haven't acted on?

The CPSC maintains an updated recall list at cpsc.gov/Recalls. You can also sign up for email alerts to receive recall notices as they're issued. The AAP's parent-facing resource at healthychildren.org is one of the best plain-language sources for current safe sleep, bath safety, and product safety guidance.

What's Next

CPSC enforcement actions on banned sleep products have increased since the Safe Sleep for Babies Act took effect. Products that were sold before the ban, or that entered the market through non-compliant channels, continue to surface in recall and stop-use notices. It's worth treating safe sleep compliance as an ongoing check rather than a one-time setup.

If you have questions about whether a specific product is safe or has been recalled, the CPSC hotline is 1-800-638-2772, or you can search at cpsc.gov. For broader safe sleep questions, healthychildren.org provides AAP-reviewed guidance in straightforward language designed for parents.
