Plain-English summary

Child Craft Industries, of Salem, Ind., is recalling about 4,300 changing tables. The tables are made of beech wood and come in white, honey oak, natural, and cherry finishes. They measure about 38 inches high by 35 inches wide by 20 inches deep. Identification labels on the rail read "Child Craft Industries" and "FoppsPedretti, Made in Italy."

The recall is due to a defect where some changing table joints were not properly glued and can separate. This presents a fall hazard to babies. Child Craft has received six reports of the tables falling apart, including one report of a baby starting to fall from a collapsing table when she was caught by her mother. No injuries have been reported.

The changing tables were sold at department and specialty stores nationwide, including Sears and Burlington Coat Factory, from August 1998 through April 2001 for about $150. Consumers should stop using the recalled changing tables immediately and call Child Craft at (877) 716-2757 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to receive information on participating in the recall.
