Plain-English summary

Jardine Enterprise Ltd. is recalling approximately 130,000 drop-side cribs sold in the United States. The recall covers various models, including the Olympia, Capri, Claremont, Madison, Siera, Hampton, and Windsor lines, as well as 3-in-1 and 2-in-1 convertible cribs. These products were sold at Babies "R" Us, Toys "R" Us, Geoffrey Stores, and KidsWorld nationwide from January 2002 through June 2009 for between $150 and $480.

The drop sides on these cribs can malfunction, detach, or otherwise fail, causing part of the side to fall out of position. This creates a space where an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped, which can lead to strangulation or suffocation. Additionally, a child can fall out of the crib. CPSC and Jardine have received 47 reports of drop sides detaching or malfunctioning. In one incident, a child was found unconscious after becoming entrapped and was hospitalized. Nine other reports involving entrapments or fallouts resulted in scratches and bruises, including one child who sustained a broken collarbone.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Jardine to receive a free repair kit that will immobilize the drop side. In the meantime, consumers should find an alternate, safe sleep environment for the child, such as a bassinet, play yard, or toddler bed, depending on the child's age. For additional information, consumers can contact Jardine at (800) 295-1980 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.jdservice.biz.
