Jardine Announces Second Recall Expansion of Cribs Sold by Babies'R'Us; Cribs Pose
Entrapment and Strangulation Hazards
The wooden crib slats can break, creating a gap, which can pose an entrapment and
strangulation hazard to infants and toddlers. CPSC has received 31 incident reports of slats breaking, including two
reports of children becoming entrapped in the gap created by the broken slat on the crib. In 10 of these incidents,
consumers reported that their child broke the slat while in the crib. There was one report of minor injuries (bumps and
abrasions.) This recall involves 7 models of Jardine wooden cribs with the date codes identified below. Cribs with other
date codes are not affected by this recall. The date code and model number are printed on the label located on the inside
of the bottom rail of the headboard or footboard.
