Mold can grow on the sling that can't be removed, and it certainly can't be washed properly once it starts growing. </p> <p>I called them (months back) and they shipped me a free replacement hassle free.</p> <p>ETA - I am the most anal, cleanest person I know - so I definitely know how to clean products and keep things dry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rock-n-play-recall-for-mold#post-488575 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:14:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 488575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>there were a few HB users who complained about this issue so I think it's valid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rock-n-play-recall-for-mold#post-488574 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:13:44 +0000 keiki_mama 488574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the link! Just emailed daycare to have them check their Rock N' Plays for mold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rock-n-play-recall-for-mold#post-488382 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:25:38 +0000 autumnlove 488382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rock-n-play-recall-for-mold#post-488375 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:23:49 +0000 blackbird 488375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Imagine that, mold can grow when something stays damp and/or you don't clean it properly! lol. Maybe just keep it in the dryer a little longer? Or put it outside in the sun--that would kill any potential mold spores </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rock-n-play-recall-for-mold#post-488364 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:21:39 +0000 T.H.O.U. 488364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also heard that by adding a waterproof pad that is washed frequently can help with getting the actually thing dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rock-n-play-recall-for-mold#post-488346 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:16:11 +0000 chrispygal 488346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh geez! I just washed ours this weekend and we were fine. That's kind of freaky. I wonder how wet these things would need to be to develop mold??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rock-n-play-recall-for-mold#post-488184 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 10:25:02 +0000 Mrsbells 488184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I'm surprised by this. we wash ours frequently too and I've never seen mould. I will check it tonight </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rock-n-play-recall-for-mold#post-488175 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 10:22:44 +0000 oahujeni 488175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml13/13087.html?tab=recalls" rel="nofollow">http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml13/13087.html?tab=recalls</a></p> <p>Maybe it's just me, but this looks like a user error. Since our rock n play gets a lot of use, I wash the fabric part every week (or when it gets wet from a leaky diaper.) I also wipe down the plastic part with a Lysol wipe.</p> <p>Just thought I'd put this out there so you can check yours for mold in case you don't clean it regularly. </p>
