Crib recalls

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is expanding a recall of Jardine cribs for the second time. This recall involves 7 models of Jardine wooden cribs with specific date codes. About 96,000 cribs are affected. The cribs' slats can break, creating a gap that can pose an entrapment and strangulation hazard. The CPSC has received 31 incident reports of slats breaking, including two reports of children becoming entrapped in the gap created by the broken slat. In 10 of these incidents, consumers reported that their child broke the slat while in the crib.

The cribs were sold at KidsWorld, Geoffrey Stores, Toys "R" Us, and Babies "R" Us stores nationwide, and at babiesrus.com, from September of 2005 through April of 2009 for between $220 and $330. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Jardine to receive a full credit toward the purchase of a new crib. For more information, including photographs of the recalled cribs, model numbers and date codes, and Jardine's contact information, read the CPSC recall notice. Jardine cribs were previously recalled in June of 2008 and January of 2009.
