Other Child Safety Recalls and Alerts of InterestDate: 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 Date: 9/16/2008 Reason: Date: 10/3/2008 Reason: The darts in the games pose a puncture hazard to young children. Lawn darts were banned in December 1988 to protect children from skull, face and eye puncture wounds. Distribution: Nationwide Date: 9/8/2008 Reason: The sweatshirts and jackets have drawstrings through the hood which pose a strangulation hazard to young children. Distribution: “Shirt off My Back” retail stores located in Colorado, Wyoming, and Michigan Date: 10/8/2008 Reason: Some of the gliders were shipped with assembly instructions that did not inform consumers to tighten all lock nuts during assembly, including those attached by the manufacturer. As a result, some lock nuts were not fully fastened during assembly which could cause the glider to detach, posing a fall hazard to children. Distribution: Nationwide Date: 9/17/2008 Reason: When the drop side detaches or partially detaches, it creates a hazardous gap, which can lead to infant entrapment and suffocation.
