Jardine Enterprises is recalling about 96,000 cribs, the third crib recall the company has issued in a year.
The slats on the recalled cribs can break, leaving a gap where small children can get trapped or strangled.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says it has received 31 reports of broken slats and two reports of children getting trapped. Ten of the incidents were caused when a child broke the slats from inside the crib.
The cribs were sold at Toys "R" Us, Babies "R" Us, KidsWorld and Geoffrey stores around the country, as well as on
babiesrus.com. They were available between September 2005 and April 2009.
This recall involves 7 models of Jardine wooden cribs. Model numbers include:
- 0102B00 - Drop-side Natural Olympia Single
- 0102E00 - Drop-side Dark Pine Olympia Single
- 0302P00 - Black Olympia Lifetime
- 0302C00 - White Olympia Lifetime
- 0312D00 - Americana Pecan 4-in-1
- 0308L00 - Antique Walnut Capri 4-in-1
- 0108C00 - Drop-side White Capri Single
The Taiwanese company recalled about 320,000 cribs in June 2008 and another 56,450 in January.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Jardine to receive a full credit toward the purchase of a new crib. Jardine will provide consumers with detailed instructions for purchasing cribs in retail stores and online.
