Plain-English summary

LaJobi, Inc. is recalling approximately 33,000 Graco-branded Avalon Glider Rockers with Ottoman and 5,600 CNS Box 2 / Katelyn Nursery Solution Glider Rockers. The recall involves wooden glider rockers sold in classic cherry, classic white, and espresso wood finishes with sandstone colored fabric covered seats. The Avalon model includes an ottoman, while the CNS Box 2 / Katelyn model does not. Only the rockers are affected by the recall.

The base of the glider rockers can crack or break, which poses a fall hazard. CPSC and the firm have received 26 reports of the Avalon glider rockers breaking. In one incident, the occupant fell to the ground and sustained a minor injury. Additionally, there are two reports of the CNS Box 2 glider rocker breaking with no injuries.

The Avalon model was sold at Burlington and other mass retail stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Target.com, and Walmart.com from December 2009 to October 2012 for about $170. The CNS Box 2 / Katelyn model was sold exclusively online at Walmart.com from November 2011 to October 2012 for about $135. Consumers should immediately stop using the glider rockers and contact LaJobi to receive a free replacement base for the glider rocker.
