Babi Italia Pinehurst and Bonavita Hudson Drop-Side Cribs
June 9, 2009 - LaJobi Inc. has recalled about 2,900 Babi Italia Pinehurst and Bonavita Hudson drop-side cribs because the lower spring pins on the headboard and footboard can pop out of their tracks, allowing the drop side to detach from the crib. This can create a gap between the drop side and the mattress, which poses an entrapment or suffocation hazard, and could allow a child to fall from the crib. Out of 33 reports of drop-side detachments due to spring pin failure, two children were entrapped but freed by caregivers, and one fell from the crib. One child suffered bruises. Only wood Pinehurst and Hudson cribs with metal mattress supports and date codes from Dec. 2006 through Aug. 2007 are recalled. The date code can be found on a label on the headboard or footboard.
