From the official product safety notice on GOV.UK, published by the Office for Product Safety and Standards.
What happened
The import was rejected at the UK border. The notice is a Product Safety Report, not a recall, and it does not say the goods were destroyed or name a retailer.
What to do
These units were stopped at the border, so they should not have reached UK homes. The notice gives no consumer action; the full text is on GOV.UK.
Why it matters for your bed or cot
A crib mattress has to be firm, flat, waterproof and in good condition, and it has to fit the crib properly. That is the Lullaby Trust’s mattress guidance, and “good condition” covers the cover as well as the foam: no rips or tears, and nothing on it that comes away in a hand. Run a finger over any zip, pull or tag before you put a baby down. A part that detaches is small enough to go in a mouth.
