Babi Italia Pinehurst and Bonavita Hudson Drop Side Cribs Recalled


About 2,900 Bonavita "Hudson" and Babi Italia "Pinehurst" Drop Side Cribs are being recalled because the lower spring pins on the footboard and headboard can pop out of the tracks located on the drop side causing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop side detaches, it creates a hazardous gap between the drop side and the crib mattress in which infants and toddlers can become entrapped and suffocate or fall from cribs.

So far, the importer, LaJobi Inc., and the CPSC have received a total of 33 reports of drop side detachment due to spring pin failure. In these reports, 2 children became entrapped and 1 child fell. Both entrapped children were freed by caregivers, 1 child was bruised.

The recalled cribs are wood with a metal mattress support and have drop sides and were sold in a variety of finishes including cherry, espresso, natural, and white. Hudson and Pinehurst drop side cribs with production dates from December 2006 through August 2007 are included in the recall. The recalled cribs have the production date, product order (PO) number, item number, and color printed on a label attached to the footboard or headboard.

The Babi Italia Pinehurst drop side cribs were sold exclusively by Babies "R" Us.

Bonavita Hudson drop side cribs were sold at Baby Basics, Beautiful Beginnings, and Buy Buy Baby stores and children's product stores nationwide for about $300.

Cribs were sold from December 2006 through December 2007.
