The cribs drop-side rails can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail
of ConsumerAffairs
Nan Far Woodworking is recalling about 3,900 Rockland Furniture round cribs.
The crib’s drop-side rails can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail. When this happens, the drop-side rail can fall out of position and create a space where an infant or toddler can become wedged or entrapped, posing a risk of strangulation or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. In addition, drop-side related incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and with age-related wear and tear.
No incidents or injuries have been reported.
This recall involves Rockland Furniture round cribs with model number 343-8314. The model number is printed on a label located on the inner-lower portion of the crib rail. The cribs are 44 ½ inches in diameter and were sold in white, ebony and cherry finishes.
The cribs, manufactured in Taiwan, were sold exclusively at J.C. Penney stores and online at jcpenney.com from January 2005, to December 2008, for about $400.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Rockland Furniture for a free repair kit that will immobilize the drop-side rail. Until the crib is repaired, consumers should find an alternate, safe sleep environment for the child such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed, depending on the child’s age.
Consumers may contact Rockland Furniture toll-free at (877) 967-5770 anytime.
