Cosco Full-Size Cribs Recalled Due to Spindle Separation and Entrapment Hazards

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Cosco Inc. is recalling approximately 190,000 full-size cribs sold nationwide between January 1991 and April 1994. The recall involves specific models (10T01, 10T04, 10T05, 10T06, 10T09, 10T11, and 10T14) with manufacture date codes between 4490 and 4093. The cribs are made of welded red, white, blue, or multicolored tubular metal and feature a fixed side rail and a drop side rail.

The recall is necessary because the spindles in the side rails can loosen and separate from the rail. This separation could allow a child to fall from the crib or create a gap that poses a potential entrapment hazard. Cosco is aware of approximately 230 incidents where spindles separated, some of which involved minor injuries.

The cribs were sold at leading retail stores and juvenile furniture stores, including Sears, J.C. Penny, and Toys R Us, for approximately $95 to $150. Consumers who own the recalled cribs should stop using them immediately and contact Cosco at (800) 314-9327 to obtain a free repair kit.
