Hazard identified
The hardware on the cribs can become loose and detach, allowing the sides of the crib to widen, creating a hazardous gap in which infants and toddlers can become wedged or entrapped, posing risks of suffocation and strangulation. Hardware failures can also lead to the crib to collapse as sides may detach.
As of December 1, 2017 the company has received one report(s) of a gap appearing on a crib side in Canada, and no report(s) of injuries.
