Over 200,000 drop side cribs made by LaJobi, Inc have been voluntarily recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

 The hazard is found in the drop side hardware.  It can break or fall and create a wedge in which an infant or toddler can become entrapped.  There have been 99 reports of drop side malfunctions.  A total of 8 children have been affected, either becoming trapped in the wedge and suffocating or being strangled, or falling from the crib.  There has been one report of a concussion.  Consumers should stop using these recalled products immediately. 

 For more information on this recall, please visit the U.S. Production Safety Commission website.

During the holiday season we see reports of various toys that are recalled, as well as safety rankings evaluating children’s toys.  Obviously safety does not stop there.

 Last month Timberland Company and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of 21,000 Classic Scuffproof Boots that were sold nationwide last year between June and October.  The hazard resulted from an excessive amount of lead found in the logo that was stamped onto the boot’s insoles. 

 Consumers who may have purchased the boot for a child are being advised to take the boot away from the child and contact Timberland for a free replacement insole.  For more information, please contact Timberland at (800) 445-5545 or visit, www.timberland.com.
