Child Craft Industries Recalls Cribs Due to Entrapment and Laceration Hazards

Child Craft Industries is recalling 155 cribs because a wooden strip may detach, creating an entrapment space and laceration risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (crib) with entrapment and laceration hazards, but the source explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, which aligns with the High severity criteria for unreported injuries.

Plain-English summary

Child Craft Industries Inc. is recalling 155 Child Craft Cribs, models 37001 and 27601, due to a safety hazard. A wooden strip added to the end assemblies to correct a spacing problem could come loose. If the strip detaches, it creates a space in violation of the federal crib standard, posing a risk of entrapment. Additionally, the three pin nails used to hold the strip in place pose a laceration hazard if the strip comes loose.

The recalled cribs were sold at juvenile furniture stores nationwide from April 14, 2005, through October 2005. The Model 37001 pine crib was sold for about $350 in chestnut, white, and cherry finishes. The Model 27601 hardwood (aspen) crib was sold for about $500 in natural, pecan, and cognac finishes. The model number is printed on a label on the bottom rail of the head or foot board. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should stop using the cribs immediately and call Child Craft Industries at (877) 716-2757 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email [email protected] to obtain free replacement ends.
