March 2, 2026 — A serious safety concern has been reported regarding the My play Regalo 1390DS playpen, manufactured by REGALO INTERNATIONAL LLC.

Product Details
Product: My play Regalo 1390DS
Incident Overview
An incident report filed on February 10, 2026, details a significant design flaw in the My play Regalo 1390DS playpen. The report indicates that a child who has developed the ability to stand or is in the developmental stage of learning to stand can become entrapped. Specifically, the child’s neck can get caught within the accordion support braces of the playpen. This type of entrapment poses a severe risk to young children, who may lack the motor skills or understanding to free themselves from such a precarious position. The exact circumstances leading to the reported incident were not specified beyond the description of the hazard.
Safety Concerns
The primary safety concern with the My play Regalo 1390DS playpen is the risk of neck entrapment, which can lead to severe injury or even death.
- Immediate Dangers: Neck entrapment can quickly lead to strangulation or asphyxiation. Infants and toddlers, especially those still developing gross motor skills, may not be able to extricate themselves, leading to a loss of oxygen flow to the brain within minutes. This is an immediate and life-threatening hazard.
- Long-Term Risks: Even if a child is rescued, oxygen deprivation to the brain can result in severe and irreversible neurological damage, including cognitive impairments, developmental delays, and other permanent injuries.
- Who Might Be Affected: This hazard specifically targets infants and toddlers who are in the crucial developmental stages of learning to stand and explore their environment. This demographic is particularly vulnerable due to their limited ability to recognize danger and react appropriately.
- Property Damage Potential: While the primary risk is to child safety, any attempts to free a child from entrapment could potentially cause minor damage to the product itself. However, the overwhelming concern remains the severe risk of personal injury.
What Consumers Should Do
Given the serious nature of the reported neck entrapment hazard, consumers who own the My play Regalo 1390DS playpen should take immediate action to ensure the safety of children in their care.
- Immediate Steps to Take: Cease using the My play Regalo 1390DS playpen immediately. Do not allow children, especially those who can stand or are learning to stand, to be placed in or near the playpen until the issue is resolved or the product is replaced.
- How to Check if They Own the Affected Product: Verify the model number “1390DS” on your Regalo playpen. This information is typically found on a label attached to the product itself or on the original packaging.
- Prevention Measures: If you have this specific model, discontinue use and store it away safely to prevent any accidental exposure to children. Consider alternative, CPSC-approved playpens that do not feature similar accordion-style support braces in accessible areas. Always supervise children closely, regardless of the playpen type.
- Reporting Procedures: If you have experienced a similar incident or have concerns about this product, you are strongly encouraged to report it to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.cpsc.gov. Your report helps the CPSC identify trends and initiate further action to protect consumers.
