| Recall Date | 10/05/2011 |
| Recall ID | 889 |
| Recall Number | 12003 |
| Product Type | Cribs |
| Hazard | The drop-side rails on the crib can malfunction, detach or unexpectedly fall down, causing part of the drop side to fall out of position. When this happens, a space is created into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped, which can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. Drop-side incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and due to age-related wear and tear. |
| Injuries | CPSC and the firms are aware of nine incidents involving drop side rails that malfunctioned or detached, including one report of a child who sustained minor abrasions to the arm. |
| Remedy | Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact JC Penney to receive a refund based on consumer use of the product. |
