Evenflo recalls Jenny Lind cribs with drop sides that can malfunction, causing entrapment or falls. Consumers must stop using and get a free repair kit to prevent suffocation risks.
The cribs' drop sides can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, causing part of the drop side to fall out of position, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped, which can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. Drop-side incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and with age-related wear and tear.
