recall of about 90,000 drop-side cribs in cooperation with the Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The cribs' drop side can malfunction, detach, or otherwise fail, causing
part of the drop side to detach from the crib. When a drop side
partially detaches, it creates a space between the drop side and the
crib mattress. A baby or toddler's body can become entrapped in the
space, which can lead to strangulation and/or suffocation. A child can
also fall out of the crib. Drop-side accidents can also occur due to
incorrect assembly and age-related wear and tear.
Bassettbaby and the CPSC are aware of 18 reported incidents in which
drop sides malfunctioned or detached from the crib. No injuries were
reported. In one of the incidents a child became entrapped between the
mattress and the drop side. In three of the incidents children fell out
of the cribs. The firm also received 154 reports of drop-side hardware
breaking during shipment, assembly, or use.
The recalled cribs are wood with a metal mattress support and have a
drop side with external plastic hardware. The cribs were sold in a
variety of finishes. A label is attached to the footboard or headboard
with the names "Bassettbaby" or "Bassett Furniture Industries, Inc.", as
well as the model number, production date, and other information. On
some older models the manufacturer's name appears on a separate label.
For a complete list of the models included in this recall, visit the
CPSC's website.
Non drop-side cribs are not included in this recall.
The cribs were sold at children's product stores and other retailers
nationwide and online from January 2000 through August 2010 for between
about $200 and $500. They were made in China, Croatia, Slovenia, Taiwan
and Vietnam. |
