CPSC, Cosco Announce Recall for In-Home Repair of Full-Size Baby Cribs

Name of Product:
Cosco Full-Size Metal Baby Cribs
Hazard:

Cribs may have been mis-assembled with the mattress platform being used as a side rail. The crib side rail and mattress platform are the same size and have been used in place of one another. CPSC standards limit the space between side rail slats to no more than 2 3/8 inches. If the crib's mattress platform is used as a side rail, the distance between the slats would be about 5 inches. Spacing this large enables an infant to become entrapped in the side rails, which could result in serious injury or death.

Remedy:
New Instructions
Repair
Recall Date:
July 09, 1997
Units:

Over 390,000 full-size metal baby cribs
