Plain-English summary

Delta Enterprise Corp. of New York, N.Y., is recalling about 10,000 portable cribs. The cribs are made of wood and were sold in three finishes: natural, cherry, and white. Model numbers 4464-1 (white), 4464-2 (natural), and 4464-4 (cherry) are printed on the mattress pad support board, along with the word "Taiwan." The cribs were sold at juvenile furniture stores nationwide from January 2004 through February 2005 for about $100.

The recall is due to a hazard where the crib slats can separate from the headboard. This separation poses an entrapment risk to young children and allows children to fall through the slat opening. Delta Enterprise Corp. has received eight reports of crib slats separating, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should stop using the cribs immediately and contact Delta Enterprise Corp. to arrange for two free replacement headboards. Consumers can contact the company toll-free at (877) 660-3777 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.deltaenterprise.com.
