Generation 2 Worldwide and "ChildESIGNS" Drop Side Crib Brands Recalled; Three I...

Published: February 9, 2010Recall ID: 10134Category: generalCountry: US

Reason for Recall / Hazard

The crib's plastic hardware can break, which can cause the drop side of the crib to detach from a corner of the crib. When detached, the drop side creates a space, into which a child can roll and become entrapped. Entrapment between the drop side and the crib mattress creates a risk of suffocation or strangulation. In addition, the crib's mattress support can detach from the crib frame, creating a hazardous space in which a child could become entrapped and suffocate or strangle.

Product Description & Identification

This recall includes all Generation 2 Worldwide and "ChildESIGNS" full-size and portable drop side cribs. The name "Generation 2 Worldwide" appears on a label affixed to the crib's headboard or footboard. Some labels identify the place of manufacture as Dothan, Ala. Others identify China as the country of manufacture. The name "ChildESIGNS" appears on the teething rail of some of the cribs.
