Plain-English summary

Child Craft Industries, of Salem, Ind., is recalling approximately 3,500 Legacy Cribs, including model numbers 16741, 21021, 23111, and 28721. The full-size cribs were made from ash and maple woods and sold in a variety of colors. The model numbers are printed on the bottom rail of the head or foot board, and all units carry the Legacy Brand label.

The recall is due to a hazard where the slats on the drop side rail can loosen and detach. When this occurs, the resulting gaps can allow a baby to become entangled, strangle, or fall. There have been 12 reports of the slats completely detaching, but no injuries have been reported.

The recalled cribs were sold at juvenile furniture stores nationwide from March 2002 through January 2004 for between $399 and $549. Consumers should stop using the cribs immediately and contact Child Craft to receive a replacement drop side rail.
