Graco®-branded drop side cribs made by LaJobi
Published April 29, 2010
Summary
CPSC records recall 10212, published April 29, 2010. Recalling firm: LaJobi Inc., of Cranbury, N.J.; Reported units: About 217,000.
What's the hazard
The drop side hardware can break or fail, 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.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact LaJobi to receive a free hardware retrofit kit that will immobilize the drop side. CPSC urges parents and caregivers to find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby.
