Angel Line Recalls to Repair Longwood Forest Drop-Side Cribs Due to Entrapment, Suffocation and Fall Hazards

Recall date:October 22, 2010
Product Category: Furniture

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with Angel Line, of Pennsville, N.J. have recalled about 3,400 drop-side cribs. The crib’s drop-side rail hardware can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, causing part of the drop-side rail to detach from the crib. When the drop-side rail partially detaches, it creates a space between the drop side and the crib mattress. An infant or toddler’s body can become entrapped in the space, which can lead to strangulation and/or suffocation.

A child can also fall out of the crib. Drop-side incidents also can occur due to age-related wear and tear.
CPSC is aware of one incident in which the crib’s drop side detached. No injuries have been reported.
