Whether your exact unit is affected depends on the model, serial number and region in the official notice.
What the official notice says
Risk: The cribs have rotating top rail hinges. These top rails can collapse, entrapping children and suffocating them.
Remedy / actions:
- Despite a nationwide effort over the past five years to alert the public about this recall, some of the 11,000 cribs originally sold could still be in use. To get these products back, Kolcraft and Playskool are doubling the reward for each returned crib from $60 to $120. In addition to the $120 reward, Kolcraft and Playskool, a subsidiary of Hasbro, are taking further steps to get the word out, including mailings to daycare centers, notices in new products and posting of details regarding the reward on Hasbro's web site at www.hasbro.com under Consumer Affairs Safety Message. Consumers who own these cribs should stop using them immediately. Anyone who sees one in a day care center, at a baby-sitters, in the home of a friend or relative, or at a garage sale or secondhand store, should inform the caregiver or seller about the recall and reward.
