Recall: April 30, 2009. Jardine Cribs has expanded two previous recalls (June 2008 and January 2009) and has now recalled 96,000 additional cribs because the wooden slats can break, creating a gap and posing an entrapment or strangulation hazard to young children.

In 10 of these incidents, consumers reported that their child broke the slats while in the crib.
