A metal bracket that connects the mattress support to the crib can break
of ConsumerAffairs
Bexco Enterprises of Montebello, Calif., is expanding its earlier recall of DaVinci cribs.
The new recall adds 6,000 cribs to the 11,700 cribs recalled in July 2015.
A metal bracket that connects the mattress support to the crib can break, creating an uneven sleeping surface or a gap. If this occurs, a baby can become trapped in the crib, fall or suffer lacerations from the broken metal bracket.
The firm has received five additional reports of the mattress support brackets breaking and detaching, bringing the total to 15. No injuries have been reported.
The recall includes DaVinci brand full-size cribs including the Reagan crib (model #M2801), the Emily crib, (model #M4791), the Jamie crib (model #M7301), and the Jenny Lind crib (model #M7391) manufactured from May 2012 through December 2012.
The model number, serial number and manufacture date are printed on a label affixed to the bottom right hand side panel of the crib. Cribs included in the recall have serial numbers that begin with “N00,” followed by one of the following numbers. The previous recall included the same model numbers, but had different serial numbers.
The following cribs have been added to the recall:
Model Number and Name

M2801 Reagan | 4959/ 5035/ 5109, *5254, *5350 or *5035 |
M4791 Emily | 4648/ 4669/ 4962, *5249, *5380, *5534 or *5193 |

The cribs, manufactured in China, were sold at Target and juvenile products stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com from May 2012 to December 2013 for between $150 and $250.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Bexco for a free replacement mattress support which includes replacement brackets. In the meantime, parents are urged to find an alternate, safe sleeping environment for the child, such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed depending on the child’s age.
