The product
The cribs included in this recall are the Daniella, Leeat, Noa, Naomi, Gabriella, Amber and Series 300 model cribs. The cribs are wood and come in a variety of painted and stained finishes including natural, cherry, blonde, or white wood. Some of the cribs have built-in storage drawers on the side of the crib or underneath the crib. The crib model name may be printed on the lower part of the headboard of each crib and the manufacturer name is printed on each set of crib warnings when provided.
What can happen
The Amber model crib included in this recall does not comply with crib safety standards due to a gap between the side rail and the crib mattress support, posing an entrapment hazard to infants. All other model cribs included in this recall do not have proper assembly instructions and diagrams required for cribs. They are also missing cautionary and warning labels, as required by federal law. If the cribs are not assembled properly, they could pose an entrapment hazard to infants.
