Gerber Crawl Space Children's Enclosure Recall for Suffocation Risk

Plain-English summary

Gerber Furniture Group, Inc. is recalling its "Crawl Space" children's enclosure, model 14-816, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The product is a portable mesh-sided enclosure that may pose a potential suffocation hazard if it is not assembled according to the provided instructions.

The hazard occurs if the metal legs are not placed on the outside of the mesh and away from the child. In this configuration, a child may become caught between a leg and the netting, leading to suffocation. The company is aware of one incident in which a child allegedly suffocated as a result of being caught between the netting and a metal leg.

Consumers should contact Gerber Furniture Group to receive warning labels for the Crawl Space and an instruction sheet showing proper assembly. For information, consumers can call the company's toll-free number at 1-800-222-9825 or write to Gerber Furniture Group, Inc., 9600 Valley Road, Macedonia, Ohio 44056, Attention Crawl Space/Consumer Service Department.
