Portable Wood Cribs Recalled
Poor Mattress Support Could Lead To Falls
POSTED: 12:56 p.m. EST January 23, 2003
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Hufco-Delaware Co. and Evenflo are recalling about 364,000 portable wood cribs.
If the hardware used to assemble the crib is not tight, the mattress support platform and mattress can fall to the floor.
This poses a risk of injury to young children in the crib.
There have been 41 reports of mattresses falling through portable wood cribs. In these incidents, 17 children suffered bumps, bruises or scratches.
The portable cribs are made of wood and are smaller than traditional baby cribs. The majority of these portable wood cribs were sold under the Gerry brand name, and some were sold under the Evenflo brand name.
The recalled cribs have one of the following model numbers that can be found on a label on the mattress platform underneath the mattress: 8212, 8222, 8232, 8242, 8252, 8282, 8301, 8302, 8311, 8312, 8321, 8322, 8331, 8332, 8341, 8342, 8351, 8352, 8381, 8382, 8512, 8522, 8532, 8542, 8552, 8582, 8712, 8752.
Department and baby products stores nationwide sold the cribs from January 1991 through December 2002 for about $99.
Consumers should stop using these portable wood cribs immediately, and call (800) 582-9359 anytime for a free upgrade kit that provides additional support for the mattress platform.
