Mother Hubbard's Cupboards Crib Recall Due to Fall Hazard (August 5, 2008):

Name of Product: Cribs

Units: About 1,300

Manufacturer: Mother Hubbard’s Cupboards, of Toronto, Canada

Hazard: The cribs fail to meet the federal safety standards. The distance between the mattress support bracket in the lowest position and the top of the side rail in the highest position is less than the required 26 inches, posing a fall hazard to children who climb over the railing.

Note from CPSC Staff:
Federal Regulations require that all full-size cribs have a minimum rail height of 26” to help prevent fall hazards. To determine whether or not a crib meets this requirement, the mattress support platform must be placed in the lowest configuration (for the oldest users of the crib). Once in the lowest setting, remove the mattress and measure the distance from the top of the mattress platform (NOT the top of the mattress) to the top of the front rail. If the crib has a drop side or movable front rail, the measurement should be taken when the rail is in the uppermost locked position.

Incidents/Injuries: None reported.

Description: The recall includes the following wooden full-size cribs: “Enchantment” (model #210), “Hush a Bye” (model #215), “Once upon a time” (model #320) and “Rock a bye” (model #1900-350). Only date codes from 0306 through 0308 are included in this recall. “Mother Hubbard’s Cupboards”, the model number and date code are printed on a label located on the bottom inside of the right side.

Sold at: Juvenile product stores from March 2006 through March 2008 for between $500 and $650.

Manufactured in: Canada

If your baby was injured by a Mother Hubbard's Cupboard crib, you should contact a lawyer immediately and not contact Jardine or the retailer yourself. It is always best to let your attorney handle all contacts with parties that may be liable.
