LaNacional Recalls 2,288 Baby Cribs in Puerto Rico Due to Entrapment Hazards

LaNacional is recalling 2,288 baby cribs distributed in Puerto Rico because they pose strangulation and entrapment hazards to infants.

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 risk-of-harm product (infant cribs) with potential for strangulation and entrapment, but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

LaNacional, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is recalling three models of baby cribs distributed in Puerto Rico. The affected models are the CAMA CUNA R.N.C., the CAMA CUNA No. 2, and the Crib with Drawers. These cribs do not comply with safety standards and present strangulation and entrapment hazards to infants.

The distance between the cribs' slats is greater than 2 3/8 inches, which allows a child's head to get caught. Additionally, some cribs have corner posts that are one or more inches high, creating a risk that a child's clothes could catch and cause strangulation. The cribs also lack required identifying marks and instructions. LaNacional distributed 2,288 cribs from January 1994 to April 12, 1995, through eighteen retailers in Puerto Rico. More cribs may be in consumers' possession as records for distribution prior to 1994 are not available.

Consumers who own these cribs should stop using them immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund. The cribs were sold assembled without a box and can be identified by a lack of printed instructions and markings, except for the words "MADE IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC" printed under the mattress support.
