96,000 Jardine Enterprises cribs recalled April 30, 2009

Silive is reporting that Jardine Enterprises is recalling an additional 96,000 cribs, the third expansion of a previous crib recall the company has issued this year. The recall involves 7 different crib models sold throughout stores the United States.

The wooden crib slats on the recalled cribs can break, creating a gap. The gap presents an entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has received 31 incident reports of slats breaking and two reports of children getting trapped in the gap created by the broken slats. Ten of the incidents were caused when a child broke the slats from inside the crib.

The cribs were sold at Toys “R” Us, Babies “R” Us, Kids World and Geoffrey stores around the country, as well as on www.babiesrus.com. They were sold between September 2005 and April 2009 for between $220 and $330.

Jardine previously recalled about 320,000 cribs in June 2008 and another 56,450 in January 2009. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products unless instructed otherwise.
