Plain-English summary

Pottery Barn Kids, a division of Williams-Sonoma Inc., is recalling approximately 12,000 Sweet Lambie Crib Bumpers. The recall involves cotton bumpers manufactured from April 2009 through July 2012, which were sold in pink, blue, and ivory/oatmeal colors. The bumpers feature embroidered lambs and fit standard cribs. They were sold at Pottery Barn Kids stores and catalogs, Pottery Barn Outlet stores, and online at potterybarnkids.com for between $129 and $149.

The recall is due to an entanglement hazard. The thread in the decorative stitching on the bumper can loosen, posing a risk of entangling infants. The firm has received two reports of the decorative stitching coming loose and entangling children, including reports of the thread wrapping around a child's neck. No serious injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately check the tag on the bumper for the month and year of manufacture and stop using the bumper if the date is between 04/2009 and 07/2012. Affected bumpers have model numbers "708859," "708917," or "7988348" printed on a tag fastened to the bottom edge. Consumers with recalled bumpers should contact Pottery Barn Kids at (855) 323-5138 or online at www.potterybarnkids.com for instructions on how to return the bumpers to receive a gift card for a full refund or a replacement bumper, with free return shipping.
