Bassettbaby drop-side cribs with external plastic hardware
Published November 22, 2010
Summary
CPSC records recall 11048, published November 22, 2010. Recalling firm: Bassett Furniture Industries, Inc., of Bassett, Va.; Reported units: About 90,000.
What's the hazard
The crib's drop-side rail can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, causing part of the drop side to detach from the crib. When a drop-side rail partially detaches, it creates a space between the drop-side and the crib mattress. An infant or toddler's body can become entrapped in the space, which can lead to strangulation and/or suffocation. A child also can fall out of the crib. Drop-side incidents also can occur due to incorrect assembly and age-related wear and tear.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled drop-side cribs and contact Bassettbaby for a free kit that will immobilize the drop side. In the meantime, parents are urged to find an alternate, safe sleeping environment for the child, such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed depending on the child's age.
