The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall for two baby cribs, Bonavita “Hudson” and Babi Italia “Pinehurst” Drop Side Cribs.
The lower spring pins on the footboard and headboard can pop out of the tracks located on the drop side causing the drop side to detach from the crib.
When the drop side detaches, it creates a hazardous gap between the drop side and the crib mattress in which infants and toddlers can become entrapped and suffocate or fall from cribs.
The Babi Italian Pinehurst cribs were sold exclusively by Babies "R" Us.
Bonavita Hudson drop side cribs were sold at Baby Basics, Beautiful Beginnings, and Buy Buy Baby stores and children’s product stores nationwide for about $300.
Cribs were sold from December 2006 through December 2007.
CPSC and LaJobi have received a total of 33 reports of drop side detachment because of the spring pin failure.
In these reports, two children became entrapped and one child fell from crib.
Both entrapped children were freed by caregivers, one child was bruised.
