Date of Recall:
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010
CPSC Release Number:
10-114
Manufactured In:
China
Company Phone Number:
(866) 762-2304
Units:
About 635,000
Distributor:
Dorel Asia SRL, of Barbados
Sold By:
K-Mart, Sears and Wal-Mart stores nationwide from January 2005 through December 2009 for between $120 and $700.
Problem/Hazard:
The drop side hardware can fail causing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop side detaches it creates a space in which an infant or toddler can become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. In addition, the recalled cribs can pose a serious entrapment and strangulation hazard when a slat is damaged. This can occur while the crib is in use, in storage, being put together, taken apart or reassembled; or during shipping and handling.
