What happened

Playkids USA has recalled convertible cribs with model number PLK-909 due to a hazard involving the mesh sides of the crib. The mesh material expands and creates a gap between the mattress and the side of the crib, which allows infants to slip through. This poses risks of suffocation and entrapment for young children. At least one infant death has been associated with this hazard.

The recalled product is the Playkids U.S.A. convertible crib/playpen/bassinet/bed (model PLK-909), identifiable by "Playkids U.S.A." printed on the packaging or sewn into the side of the crib. The crib features a drop side rail, stationary side rail, canopy assembly, and bassinet, with fabric and mesh covering available in various colors and patterns. According to the recall notice, consumers should stop using the crib immediately and contact Playkids USA to obtain a full refund.
