SunKids Convertible Cribs Recalled by Suntech Enterprises Due to Entrapment and Suffocation Hazards
Suntech Enterprises Inc., of City of Commerce, Calif.
Hazard
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, or a gap between the side and an added mattress. 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.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled convertible cribs and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund.
Sold at
Small juvenile product retailers in N.Y., N.J., and Calif. from January 2007 through October 2008 for about $100.
Affected count
About 1,900
Injuries reported
None reported with this crib. However, CPSC is aware of the death of a 5-month-old child in August 2008 involving another company's nearly identical crib that was recalled. The child became entrapped between the mattress and the mesh side and suffocated.
