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 banned product with potential hazards including strangulation and entrapment, but the source explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, fitting the High severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

HBLA Imports, Inc. is voluntarily recalling its non-full size baby cribs in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The affected cribs were imported in January 1985 and distributed in Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Artesia, New Mexico, Pikeville, Kentucky, and Hammond, Louisiana. They were sold at retail for approximately $65.00. The cribs are available in white, pink, and blue with solid wood end panels and wooden spindle rails, and are packaged in cartons labeled "HBLA Dallas made in Taiwan."

The CPSC determined that these cribs are banned because they fail to meet safety requirements regarding hardware, spacing of crib spindles, slats, decorative cutouts, assembly instructions, labeling, and mattress thickness. Potential hazards associated with the defect include falling from the crib, pinching, laceration, entrapment, and strangulation. Neither the CPSC nor the manufacturer is aware of any injuries associated with these cribs, but the recall is being made as a precaution.

Owners of these cribs are urged to immediately remove them from use and return them to the retailer where purchased for a refund. Retailers should remove the cribs from sale and return them to HBLA Imports, Inc. in Dallas, Texas. Consumers may also contact HBLA Imports directly at 214-375-4831.
