PT Domusindo Perdana is recalling about 73,000 drop-side cribs sold in 14 different models. The cribs' drop-side rails can malfunction, detach, or fail, creating a dangerous gap between the mattress and the side rail. Three incidents have been reported where the drop-side rails detached or malfunctioned, though no injuries have occurred. These wooden cribs were sold exclusively at JCPenney.com and through the JCPenney catalog between January 1998 and December 2008 for between $200 and $400.
The drop-side rail can fall out of position, creating a space where an infant or toddler can become wedged or entrapped. This poses a serious risk of strangulation, suffocation, or the child falling out of the crib.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact customer service at Modus Furniture International to get a free immobilizer kit that will immobilize the drop side. The immobilizer kits will be available in May 2013. In the meantime, parents are encouraged to find an alternate, safe sleep environment for the child, such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed depending on your child's age.
