Generation 2 Worldwide Recalls Pisces Baby Cribs Due to Entrapment Risk

Plain-English summary

Generation 2 Worldwide, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is recalling approximately 6,600 Next Generation Pisces Cribs. The recall addresses a defect where slats on the headboards and footboards can come loose, creating a large opening between the slats. CPSC standards limit the space between side rail slats to no more than 2 3/8 inches; spacing larger than this enables an infant to become entrapped, which can result in serious injury or death.

The affected cribs are model number 67-8100, manufactured between March 4, 1997, and March 10, 1998. They feature a high arched headboard and footboard with a natural wood finish and the "NEXT GENERATION" brand name stamped in gold on the drop side rail. The model number and date of manufacture are located on a sticker at the bottom of the headboard. These cribs were sold at retail stores and juvenile furniture stores nationwide from March 1997 through December 1998 for about $199. This recall does not include Pisces Cribs with model number 67-8102.

Generation 2 Worldwide has received 12 reports of slats coming loose, but no injuries have been reported. Because the firm is out of business, a remedy is no longer available. Consumers should immediately stop using these recalled cribs and discard or destroy them.
