Which products are included?
The recalled cribs were sold under either the Baby's Dream Furniture label or the National Baby Furniture label in five different models. The five models included in the recall are "Always Crib," "Crib 4 Life," "Legendary Crib," "Set 4 Life," and "Crib-2-College." The wooden cribs are honey, amber or cherry in color. The model names and the date of manufacture appear on a label on the lower inside of the frame. "Made in USA" is also printed on the label. In addition, an unknown number of Baby's Dream cribs made between 1996 and 2002 may have drop gate trigger latches that are not correctly aligned to fit securely into the strike plate on the crib post.
Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
The three hinges along the fold-down drop gate can crack or break and allow babies to have their fingers pinched. Additionally, a misaligned latch where the latch trigger does not lock securely can allow the drop gate to open if a child leans on it, and the child could fall out.
Official remedy
Consumers owning these Baby's Dream cribs should contact Baby's Dream to receive a repair kit for hinges and/or latches or for specific instructions for examining their latches.
