STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — About 550 infant bassinets for strollers are being recalled for a suffocation risk and fall hazard, according to a notice posted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Peg Perego is recalling the inclined sleeper bassinets for YPSI and Z4 strollers due to the risks and because the product violates federal safety standards — the Safe Sleep for Babies Act.
This is because they were marketed for infant sleep and have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees. Infant fatalities have occurred in inclined sleeper products after the infants rolled from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained, or under other circumstances. The bassinets also violate the Infant Sleep Products regulation, because they do not have a stand.
No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves compact bassinets that were sold individually or as an accessory to the Peg Perego YPSI and Z4 stroller systems. They have a zip-on boot, insert pad and a foldable canopy. The Z4 bassinets have an “Agio” label on the side of the canopy.
Only bassinets manufactured on or after June 23, 2022, are included in this recall. The manufacture date in YYYY/MM/DD format and model number are located in the hood/head area of the bassinet and can be found by lifting the bassinet’s pad/cushion and internal lining, according to CPSC.

The products were sold online at Amazon.com, Albeebaby.com, Strolleria.com and other websites, and at Baby First Furniture and other stores nationwide from July 2022 through April 2023 for about $250.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bassinets and contact Peg Perego for instructions on how to receive a full refund or repair instructions for the recalled bassinets, CPSC stated. Consumers who purchased their bassinet for a stroller system or with a stand will be given instructions on how to disable the backrest recline adjustment feature.
