Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Pottery Barn Kids has recalled about 12,000 Sweet Lambie Crib Bumpers because the thread in the decorative stitching can loosen. This defect poses a serious entanglement hazard to infants, with two reports already received of children becoming entangled, including one instance where the thread wrapped around a child's neck. The recalled cotton bumpers were sold in pink, blue, and ivory/oatmeal and feature embroidered lambs in grass or lambs with trees. Consumers should stop using the affected bumpers immediately and contact Pottery Barn Kids for a replacement or a full refund.

Risk

The decorative stitching on the bumper can come loose, creating long loops or strands of thread that can wrap around an infant's neck or limbs, posing risks of strangulation or entanglement.

  2. Check the manufacture date tag attached near the model number tag; if the date falls between 04/2009 and 07/2012, the product is included in the recall.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled bumper and remove it from the crib to prevent entanglement risks.
  4. Contact Pottery Barn Kids at (855) 323-5138 from 7 a.m. to midnight ET daily, or visit www.potterybarnkids.com and click on 'Safety Recalls' to receive instructions on returning the bumper.
