Anna Queen Baby Play Yards Recalled Over Deadly Entrapment and Suffocation Risks: What Parents Need to Know About Filing a Lawsuit

Parents depend on baby play yards to keep their infants safe while resting or playing. When these products fail to meet safety standards, the consequences can be devastating. That’s exactly what has happened with the recently recalled Anna Queen baby play yards sold on Amazon. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), these products violate federal safety regulations and present life-threatening risks, including suffocation and entrapment.

The affected play yards, manufactured by Guangzhou Tinger Trading Co. Ltd., have been on the market since March 2025. With distinctive bear-print fabric and mesh panels, these products may look innocent, but behind the design is a fatal risk that’s already prompted a federal recall and serious safety warnings. Families whose children were injured, or worse, due to the use of these play yards may be entitled to take legal action.

What Is the Anna Queen Play Yard and Why Is It Being Recalled?

The Anna Queen baby play yard is a portable enclosure meant to provide a safe space for infants to sleep or play. The design includes:

• Black fabric sides with mesh panels bordered in gray
• White top rails with a multicolored bear-face print
• A matching mattress featuring the same bear-print design

However, according to the CPSC, these play yards fail to meet the mandatory federal standard for play yard safety. The recall notice warns that the product’s design can allow an infant to become trapped underneath the mattress or between the mattress and the side walls—a situation that could easily result in suffocation or fatal injury.

The defective models are identified as:

• Model: P700
• Production Date: 202503
• These details can be found both on the original packaging and on a removable tag attached to the play yard itself.

Life-Threatening Hazards Identified by the CPSC

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has categorized the hazards as posing “a risk of serious injury or death from suffocation and entrapment.” The specific dangers include:

• Entrapment under the mattress: Infants can roll or slide underneath the mattress, becoming stuck in a position that restricts airflow.
• Entrapment between the side walls and mattress: Poorly fitted components can leave dangerous gaps, which are not compliant with federal spacing and fit regulations.

Such flaws contradict safety standards outlined under 16 CFR Part 1221, which governs play yard design and testing in the United States. These standards exist to prevent the very type of suffocation hazard present in the Anna Queen products.

The CPSC has received complaints and reports indicating that infants placed in these play yards may have experienced close calls. Any caregiver who used these products and noticed breathing difficulties, positional asphyxia, or signs of distress in their child should treat this as a potentially dangerous exposure.

What Consumers Are Being Told to Do

The CPSC’s instructions are clear: stop using the Anna Queen play yard immediately. Owners are instructed to:

1. Disassemble the fabric cover from the play yard frame.
2. Cut up the fabric and mattress pad to render the product unusable.
3. Email photographic proof of destruction to tingerservice@outlook.com.
4. Request a full refund after submitting the required documentation.

The company has not offered an exchange or repair—only destruction and disposal followed by a refund. This signals a serious concern with the product’s safety and a recognition that design corrections are not viable at this time.

While refunds may offset the financial loss, they do not begin to compensate for the potential medical trauma or wrongful death associated with defective play yard use.

Legal Rights for Parents and Guardians

If a child suffered harm while using one of these recalled play yards, the parents or guardians may have grounds to pursue a legal claim for damages. These claims may include:

• Product Liability: When a manufacturer sells a product that fails to meet federal safety standards, they may be held liable for the resulting harm. This includes design defects, manufacturing errors, and lack of adequate warnings.
• Negligence: If the company knew—or should have known—about the safety risks and failed to warn consumers promptly, it may be sued for negligent conduct.
• Wrongful Death: In tragic cases where an infant lost their life due to suffocation or entrapment, surviving family members may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

Damages in such lawsuits can cover:

• Medical expenses
• Funeral and burial costs
• Emotional trauma
• Long-term psychological treatment
• Pain and suffering

Manufacturers and distributors have a legal duty to ensure their products meet basic safety standards before selling them to U.S. consumers. In this case, the importer (Anna Queen) and its parent company in China (Guangzhou Tinger Trading Co. Ltd.) may be liable under U.S. product liability laws.

The Role of Amazon in These Cases

Anna Queen sold the recalled play yards exclusively through Amazon, one of the largest online retailers in the world. In recent years, legal questions have emerged about whether platforms like Amazon can also be held liable for third-party product defects.

Some courts have ruled that Amazon may bear some responsibility when dangerous goods are sold on its platform. Legal theories against Amazon may involve:

• Failure to vet sellers for compliance with U.S. product safety laws
• Negligent distribution of recalled or unsafe products
• Liability for fulfillment and shipping in cases where Amazon handles storage and delivery

Any lawsuit filed may include Amazon as a co-defendant, depending on the facts surrounding the product’s sale and delivery.

How to Document an Injury Claim

To strengthen a claim against Anna Queen or any parties involved, families should gather the following:

• Photographs of the product and its packaging
• Proof of purchase from Amazon or other receipts
• Medical records indicating treatment or diagnosis following use of the play yard
• Witness statements from parents, caregivers, or babysitters
• Any correspondence with the manufacturer regarding the recall

Families should also preserve any pieces of the product not yet destroyed, especially if the play yard caused injury before the recall was announced.
