Pottery Barn Kids Penny Convertible Cribs Recalled for Laceration Hazard

Williams-Sonoma Inc., operating as Pottery Barn Kids, is recalling about 310 Penny Convertible Cribs because the end panel can become loose and expose sharp edges, creating a laceration hazard to children. No injuries have been reported.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: No injuries or illnesses have been reported, and the hazard is theoretical. While a laceration hazard to children is a risk-of-harm concern, the absence of reported injuries combined with the voluntary precautionary nature of the recall places this at severity score 2 (Moderate).

Plain-English summary

Pottery Barn Kids is recalling the Penny Convertible Crib (model number/SKU 2850473), a French white crib with scalloped details made from radiata pine that converts to a toddler bed. The firm has received two reports of end panels separating from the crib, though no injuries have been reported.

The hazard is that the crib's end panel can become loose and expose sharp edges, posing a laceration risk to children. About 310 units were sold online at www.potterybarnkids.com from September 2022 through April 2023 for approximately $900 each.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs. Pottery Barn Kids will deliver and install new end panels and remove the old ones, or provide a full refund.
