Mother Hubbard's Cupboards Cribs Recalled for Fall Hazard

By Chrissie Cole

Mother Hubbard's Cupboards, in cooperation with the U.S. Product Safety Commission (CPSC), announced a voluntary recall of 1,300 cribs because they fail to meet federal safety standards.

The distance between the mattress support and brackets in the lowest position and top of the side railing in the highest position is less than the required 26 inches according to federal safety standards, which poses a fall hazard to small children who may climb over the railing.

The following crib models are included in the recall:

Enchantment: Model No. 210

Hush A Bye: Model No. 215

Once Upon A Time: Model No. 320

Rock A Bye: Model No. 1900-350

Date codes from 0306 -0308 are included in the recall. The crib model numbers and date codes can be found on a label located on the bottom of the crib.

Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the recalled cribs and to contact Mother Hubbard's Cupboards for instructions on how to re-install the support brackets properly to fix the hazard and prevent injury.

Consumer Information: consumers can contact Mother Hubbard's Cupboards toll-free at (888) 661-8201 between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday and between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET Friday and Saturday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.mhcfurniture.com.
