Distribution: Nationwide Date: 9/8/2008 Reason: Children can get entangled in the drawstrings that can catch on playground equipment, fences or tree branches. Distribution: Nationwide Date: 10/21/2008 Reason: The two battery terminals can come into contact with each other, causing the battery to overheat, posing a burn hazard to consumers. Distribution: Nationwide Date: 10/21/2008 Reason: If the spring pegs in the base of each leg of the crib are pushed back into the lower track, the pegs can become nonfunctional. This can cause the drop side to detach from the crib and create a gap that can entrap an infant or toddler. Distribution: Nationwide |
