Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Recalled product: Yu Wei Recalls Drop-Side Cribs Sold Exclusively at jcpenney Due to Entrapment and Suffocation Hazards

The hazard

The drop-side rails on the crib can malfunction, detach or unexpectedly fall down, causing part of the drop side to fall out of position. When this happens, a space is created 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 due to age-related wear and tear.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact JC Penney to receive a refund based on consumer use of the product.
