Jardine Expands Recall of Cribs Sold at Babies 'R' Us

January 6, 2009
Jardine Enterprises is expanding an earlier recall of 320,000 cribs sold at Babies 'R' Us and other retailers. The wooden crib slats can break, creating a gap, which can pose an entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants and toddlers. The current recall includes another 56,450 cribs.

Safety regulators have received 19 additional incidents of crib slats breaking. In nine of these incidents, consumers reported that their infant or toddler broke the slat while in the crib. In addition, a 22-month-old child fell through the gap between the crib slats when a slat broke. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves three models of Jardine wooden cribs with the date codes identified below. Cribs with other date codes are not affected by this recall. The date code and model number are printed on the label located on the inside of the bottom rail of the headboard or footboard.

Besides Babies 'R' Us, the cribs were sold at KidsWorld, Geoffrey Stores and Toys 'R' Us stores nationwide, and at babiesrus.com, from March 2004 through January 2009 for between $220 and $330. They were made in China.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Jardine to receive a full credit toward the purchase of a new crib. Jardine will provide consumers with detailed instructions for purchasing cribs in retail stores and online.

For additional information, contact Jardine at (800) 646-4106 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET Saturday, or visit the firm's Web site at http://www.jardinecribrecall.com/

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
