The US Consumer Product Safety Commission, CPSC, announced a voluntary recall of the Graco branded drop side cribs made by LaJobi.
This recall involves about 217,000 units of LaJobi-manufactured Graco wood cribs. The full size cribs were sold in cherry, espresso, natural and white finishes.
The drop side hardware of the affected cribs poses a risk of breaking or failing, and allowing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop side detaches, a hazardous gap is created between the drop side and the crib mattress in which infants and toddlers can become wedged or entrapped, posing a risk of suffocation and strangulation. In addition, children can fall from the cribs when the drop side detaches or fails to lock.
CPSC and LaJobi have received a total of 99 reports of drop side incidents, including hardware breakage and drop side detachment. There were two incidents in which children became entrapped in the gap created by the detached drop side. Both children were freed by their caregivers. There were six reports of children falling due to drop side failure, including one report of a mild concussion.
Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
