Jardine Cribs Recalled Due to Entrapment and Strangulation Hazard: Sold at KidsWorld, Geoffrey Stores, Toys “R” Us, and Babies “R” Us
June 24, 2008 - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Jardine Enterprises, has announced a voluntary recall of certain Jardine cribs. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately.
Name of Product: Jardine Cribs
Units: About 320,000
Manufacturer: Jardine Enterprises, of Taipei, Taiwan
Hazard: The wooden crib slats and spindles can break, creating a gap, which can pose an entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants.
[This could cause suffocation and wrongful death. This could also cause brain damage by cutting off oxygen to the babies brain. A total lack of oxygen is called cerebral anoxia. A partial lack of oxygen is called cerebral hypoxia. Brain cells can begin to die within five minutes after oxygen supply has been cut off. Symptoms of mild cerebral hypoxia include the following:
- Inattentiveness
- Poor judgment
- Memory loss
- Decrease in motor coordination
If the cerebral hypoxia (anoxia) is severe, the baby could suffer a cause coma, seizures, and even brain death.]
Incidents/Injuries: There have been 42 incidents of crib slats and spindles breaking. Four children became entrapped in the space created by a broken slat or spindle. Two of the children had abrasions and bruising.
