Peg Perego recently recalled certain sleeper bassinets for violating the Safe Sleep for Babies Act because of the of the suffocation and fall hazards the bassinets present to infants. In addition, the bassinets violate the Infant Sleep Products regulation because they do not have a stand. The recall involves YPSI and Z4 Inclined Sleeper Bassinets manufactured on or after June 23, 2022, and affects about 550 bassinets.

The affected bassinets are marketed for infant use, but the sleeper bassinets have an incline greater than ten degrees, which poses a fall or suffocation hazard to infants. Infant deaths have occurred from similar types of sleeper bassinets with an incline greater than ten degrees after the infants rolled from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has advised consumers with the affected bassinets to immediately stop using the recalled bassinets and contact Peg Perego for instructions on how to receive a full refund or repair instructions. Both Peg Perego and Amazon have stated they are directly contacting all known purchasers.
