96,000 cribs manufactured by Jardine Enterprises have been recalled because the wooden slats can break posing a serious entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants. The cribs were sold at KidsWorld, Geoffrey Stores, Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us nationwide from September 2005 until April 2009 for approximately $200 and $330. This recall is an expansion on recalls by Jardine in June 2008 and January 2009.When the wooden slats on the crib break a dangerous gap is created. Infants can become trapped in the gap and if positioned the correct way can begin to strangle themselves. In one third of the incidents reported the slat broke while the child was in the crib. If you own this crib please stop using it immediately and contact Jardine for a full credit toward the purchase of a new crib.
