Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bexco is recalling about 1,000 Franklin & Ben Mason 4-in-1 style convertible cribs because the front panel can separate from the side panels. This separation creates a dangerous gap that can cause a child to fall out or become trapped between the panels. The firm has received 14 reports of this separation occurring, though no injuries have been reported. These cribs were sold at juvenile products specialty retailers nationwide for between $600 and $700 from January 2012 through June 2014.

Risk

The crib's front panel can detach from the sideboards, creating a hazardous opening. A child could fall through this gap or become dangerously wedged between the separated panels, posing serious risks of entrapment or injury.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled Franklin & Ben Mason 4-in-1 convertible cribs.
  2. Check the label on the inside of the crib's side panel to identify if your unit is affected. Look for model number 5601 and purchase order (serial) numbers H004522, H004546, H004548, or H004777.
  3. Verify the manufacture date on the label falls between January 2012 and August 2012. The recalled cribs were sold in weathered gray and rustic brown finishes and feature a storage drawer with two metal knobs at the base.
  4. Find an alternate, safe sleeping environment for your child, such as a bassinet, play yard, or toddler bed, while waiting for a remedy.
  5. Contact Franklin and Ben (a division of Bexco) toll-free at (888) 673-6652 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. PT Monday through Friday to request a free repair kit.
