Bexco expands recall of DaVinci brand cribs
A metal bracket that connects the mattress support to the crib can break, creating an uneven sleeping surface or a gap. If this occurs, a baby can become entrapped in the crib, fall or suffer lacerations from the broken metal bracket.
Bexco expanded its recall of DaVinci brand cribs to another 6,000 in the United States and 13 in Canada because a metal bracket that connects the mattress support to the crib can break, creating an uneven sleeping surface or a gap. If this occurs, a baby can become entrapped in the crib, fall or suffer lacerations from the broken metal bracket. Bexco recalled an additional 11,600 Bexco cribs in July 2015.
The recall includes DaVinci brand full-size cribs including the Reagan crib (model #M2801), the Emily crib, (model #M4791), the Jamie crib (model #M7301), and the Jenny Lind crib (model #M7391) manufactured from May 2012 through December 2012.
The company has received five additional reports of the mattress support brackets breaking and detaching. No injuries have been reported.
