Higher price does not reflect higher quality, $500 baby crib on recall
by patxxoo.
Recalled on November 8, 2007 this crib listed as Wendy Bellissimo Collection Convertible Cribs has been on the market from July 2005 through October 2007. They sold for around $500 and through the Babies R Us stores nationwide.
Parents are only now hearing of the 85 reports of bolts that loosen on these cribs and there was even one reported case of a 13 month-old baby that was trapped between the railings. So just why the delay? We may never hear.
The bolts that connect the top corners of the cribs can come loose and this has posed an entrapment and strangulation hazard. So Bassettbaby is offering a free repair kit to people that may have purchased one of these cribs.
Here is the list of models and colors involved inn this recall: Wendy Bellissimo Collection convertible cribs, model numbers 5945-0521 and 5545-0521, sold in honey and cherry finishes. The full size cribs have a sleigh design and one of the following purchase order numbers at the bottom rail of the headboard: 272903, 272904, 273904, 276728, 276729, 291081, 323975, 324472, 320318, 323976, 332883 365620, 368466 in honey, and 338535, 338537 and 332884 in cherry.
