Pottery Barn's "My first Jailbreak" crib

Pottery Barn Kids Spindle Cribs Recalled

Pottery Barn Kids is recalling about 7,600 spindle cribs. The spindles on the crib's front rail can loosen and detach from the rail. This can allow the child to fall from the crib and poses a risk of entrapment.

Pottery Barn Kids has received six reports of incidents involving spindles detaching from the crib. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves the Spindle Crib, model number 4825402. The product name and model number are printed on a label affixed to the base of the crib. Sold in white, pink and blue, the cribs are made of hardwood and measure 30.5 x 54.5 x 45" high.

The cribs were sold at Pottery Barn Kids retail stores, the Pottery Barn Kids catalog and PotteryBarnKids.com nationwide from January 2004 through July 2005 for between $300 and $500.

Consumers should immediately stop using these cribs and contact Pottery Barn Kids to receive a free replacement front rail or a full refund (including shipping).
