4.2.09: SunKids Convertible Cribs Recalled
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety commission and Suntech Enterprises Inc., of City of Commerce, California, have recalled about 1,900 convertible cribs because the sides of the crib are made of mesh that expands, creating a gap between the side and the crib’s mattress if it’s not zipped into place. A young child can slip into this gap and become entrapped or suffocate. Also, the crib’s drop side can fail to fully latch posing a fall hazard to young children. The recall involves the SunKids convertible crib/playpen/bassinet/bed with model number PY256. “SunKids” is embroidered on the bottom left of the crib’s drop side. The convertible cribs have a drop side rail, stationary side rail, canopy assembly, and bassinet. The sides of the convertible crib are fabric and mesh. The mattress support, bassinet, canopy, and bed skirt are covered in fabric. The fabric and the mesh were sold in navy blue, light blue, pink, beige, white, beige checker, and pink heart.
 
The cribs were sold at small juvenile product retailers in New York, New Jersey, and California from January 2007 through October 2008 for about $100. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled convertible cribs and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund.

  2. My daughter's Jardine crib was recalled. It was such a pain in the butt to dissassemble it and pay more for a new one. The US manufacturers need to wake up and QUIT MAKING things in CHINA!!!!!

  3. We were lucky enough to have been given a silver tiffany ring for a gift and it shouldn't sit in a drawer! better to know that it is pure sterling than worry about which plastic is ok.
