The hazard

The sides of the convertible crib are made of a mesh that expands, creating a gap between the mattress and the side through which an infant can slip. This poses suffocation and entrapment hazards for young children.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled convertible cribs immediately and contact Playkids USA to receive a full refund.
