Jardine Wooden Cribs Recalled for Entrapment and Strangulation Hazards

Jardine is recalling approximately 96,000 wooden cribs sold by Babies "R" Us and other retailers because broken slats can create gaps that pose entrapment and strangulation risks to infants.

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 reported entrapment incidents and minor injuries, but no serious injuries or fatalities are reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported as severe.

Plain-English summary

Jardine Enterprises is recalling approximately 96,000 wooden cribs sold by KidsWorld, Geoffrey Stores, Toys "R" Us, and Babies "R" Us stores nationwide, and at babiesrus.com, from September 2005 through April 2009. The recall involves seven specific models of Jardine cribs with date codes printed on the label located on the inside of the bottom rail of the headboard or footboard. The affected models include the Drop-side Natural Olympia Single, Drop-side Dark Pine Olympia Single, Black Olympia Lifetime, White Olympia Lifetime, Americana Pecan 4-in-1, Antique Walnut Capri 4-in-1, and Drop-side White Capri Single.

The recall is being issued because the wooden crib slats can break, creating a gap that poses an entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants and toddlers. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has received 31 incident reports of slats breaking, including two reports of children becoming entrapped in the gap created by the broken slat. There was one report of minor injuries, specifically bumps and abrasions.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs. For additional information, consumers can contact Jardine at (800) 646-4106 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at http://www.jardinecribrecall.com.
