Plain-English summary

Mother Hubbard's Cupboards, of Toronto, Canada, is recalling about 1,300 wooden full-size cribs. The recall includes the "Enchantment" (model #210), "Hush a Bye" (model #215), "Once upon a time" (model #320), and "Rock a bye" (model #1900-350) models. Only units with date codes from 0306 through 0308 are included in this recall. The model number and date code are printed on a label located on the bottom inside of the right side.

The cribs fail to meet federal safety standards because the distance between the mattress support bracket in the lowest position and the top of the side rail in the highest position is less than the required 26 inches. This defect poses a fall hazard to children who climb over the railing. No injuries have been reported.

The cribs were sold at juvenile product stores from March 2006 through March 2008 for between $500 and $650. Consumers should stop using the cribs immediately and contact Mother Hubbard's Cupboards to receive instructions on how to re-install the support brackets to eliminate the hazard. For additional information, consumers can contact the company toll-free at (888) 661-8201 or visit www.mhcfurniture.com.
