The product
The recalled cribs have their model number 37001 or 27601 printed on a label on the bottom rail of the head or foot board. The 37001 crib comes in three finishes: chestnut, white and cherry. The 27601 crib in aspen also comes in three finishes: natural, pecan and cognac.
What can happen
A wooden strip added to the end assemblies of the crib to correct a spacing problem could come loose, creating a space, in violation of the federal crib standard, and posing a risk of entrapment. In addition, the three pin nails used to hold the strip in place pose a laceration hazard if the wooden strip detaches.
The fix
Stop using the crib immediately and call Child Craft Industries for free replacement ends.
