Is my product affected?

Babi Italia "Tiffany" and "Josephine" model cribs

  • Brand Babi Italia, a division of LaJobi Industries Inc., of Edison, N.J.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Babi Italia/LaJobi Industries has recalled "Tiffany" and "Josephine" model cribs manufactured between June and October 2001 (Tiffany) and January and October 2001 (Josephine) due to a hazard involving the drop-side rails. The slats on these rails can become loose or detach, creating an entrapment risk where a child's head could become caught in the resulting gap. Additionally, children can fall through openings created by missing slats. The recalled cribs are made of solid natural wood with an attached chest of drawers at the footboard and can be converted into a toddler bed or adult bed.

Since the manufacturer is no longer in business, no repair or replacement remedy is available. According to the recall notice, consumers who own an affected crib should discard the product and must not donate or resell it. Consumers can verify whether their crib is included in the recall by checking the eight-digit production code on the inside bottom of the headboard—the four middle numbers indicate the month and year of manufacture and must match one of the specified dates listed in the recall details.
