Product
PT Domusindo Perdana drop-side cribs
Description
The cribs' drop sides can malfunction and detach. Infants can roll and become wedged or trapped. Children can also fall out of the crib.
Hazard
The cribs' drop sides can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, causing part of the drop side to fall out of position, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped, which can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. Drop-side incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and with age-related wear and tear.
Incidents / Injuries
CPSC and the firm are aware of three incidents involving drop side rails that malfunctioned or detached. No injuries were reported.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact customer service at Modus Furniture International to get a free immobilizer kit that will immobilize the drop side. The immobilizer kits will be available in May 2013. In the meantime, parents are encouraged to find an alternate, safe sleep environment for the child, such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed depending on your child's age.
