Second Recall Expansion of Cribs Sold by Babies R Us

Cribs Pose Entrapment and Strangulation Hazards

About 96,000 Jardine Cribs are now being recalled by Jardine Enterprises because the wooden crib slats can break, creating a gap, which can pose an entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants and toddlers: 320,000 units were previously recalled in June 2008 and 56,450 units were recalled in January 2009.

So far, the CPSC has received 31 incident reports of slats breaking, including 2 reports of children becoming entrapped in the gap created by the broken slat on the crib models identified below. In 10 of these incidents, consumers reported that their child broke the slat while in the crib. There was 1 report of minor injuries (bumps and abrasions.)

This recall involves 7 models of Jardine wooden cribs. The cribs were sold at KidsWorld, Geoffrey Stores, Toys "R" Us, and Babies "R" Us stores nationwide, and at babiesrus.com, from September 2005 through April 2009 for between $220 and $330.
