Description
The recalled Graco toddler beds are white plastic and steel with openings between the slats in the guard rails and footboard.

There is a label on the guard rail or leg containing one of the following model numbers: "8801, 8801WR, 8821, 8824, 8828, 8833, 30066, 34434 and 11030," a serial number, and the manufacturer's address.
