Hazard:

A child may become entrapped between the bed's arches or between the bed mattress and an arch of the headboard or footboard.

Remedy:

Consumers should look for the white label on the mattress support. If the label contains "10T22" or "10T23", consumers should write down the date code and measure the distance between the top two arches of the headboard. (This will enable Cosco to determine appropriate modification parts). Consumers should then call Cosco at 1-800-468-0174 for information on free modification parts. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT USE AFFECTED TODDLER BEDS UNTIL MODIFICATIONS ARE MADE.
