WASHINGTON – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, along with Lajobi Inc., has recalled almost 6,000 drop-side cribs.
CPSC has recalled about 2,000 Bonavita "Cabana" drop-side cribs, manufactured in Vietnam and imported by LaJobi Inc. of Cranbury, N.J., because the slats can detach or break, creating a gap where a child can be strangled or trapped.
The company has received six reports of broken slats and 10 reports of slats falling out.
No injuries have been reported.
The cribs were sold at USA Baby, Beautiful Beginnings, Buy Buy Baby and other specialty stores around the country between January 2006 and May 2009.
About 2,900 Bonavita "Hudson" and Babi Italia "Pinehurst" drop side cribs, manufactured in China and imported by LaJobi Inc. of Cranbury, N.J., also were recalled because the drop side can detach and leave a gap where children can be trapped and suffocate.
The company has received 33 reports of drop-side detachment, including two reports of trapped children.
The Babi Italia Pinehurst cribs were sold at Babies "R" Us.
The Bonavita Hudson cribs were sold at Baby Basics, Beautiful Beginnings and Buy Buy Baby and other children's product stores.
The cribs were available between December 2006 and December 2007.
