Recalls: Cribs on latest list
The following recalls were issued April 25 - 29 by federal and state agencies:
Cribs: Simplicity full-size cribs with tubular metal mattress-support frames are being recalled. This recall includes fixed-side and drop-side cribs sold nationwide. These cribs pose a risk of serious injury or death due to entrapment, strangulation, suffocation and fall hazards. The crib's tubular metal mattress-support frame can bend or detach and cause part of the mattress to collapse, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged, entrapped or fall out of the crib. This recall involves all Simplicity cribs with tubular metal mattress-support frames. Consumers should contact the store where the crib was purchased to receive a refund, replacement crib or store credit.LaJobi Inc. is recalling Gracoî-branded drop side cribs sold February 2007 - March 2010. The drop side hardware can break or fail, allowing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop side detaches, a hazardous gap is created between the drop side and the crib mattress in which infants and toddlers can become wedged or entrapped, posing a risk of suffocation and strangulation. This recall involves LaJobi-manufactured Gracoî wood cribs. The full size cribs were sold in cherry, espresso, natural and white finishes. The production date, item number, purchase order number and finish name is printed on a label affixed to the footboard or headboard. "LaJobi" and the crib model name are printed on a product sticker located on the stabilizer bar or bottom rail of the crib. Consumers should contact LaJob,
www.LaJobi.com, 888-842-2215, to receive a free hardware retrofit kit that will immobilize the drop side.For more information:
