What happened

Generation 2 Worldwide recalled approximately 6,600 Next Generation Pisces Cribs (model number 67-8100) manufactured between March 4, 1997 and March 10, 1998 due to a hazard involving loose slats on the headboards and footboards. When these slats come loose, they can create openings larger than the 2 3/8-inch safety standard, potentially allowing an infant to become entrapped in the side rails, which could result in serious injury or death. The company received 12 reports of slats coming loose, though no injuries have been reported. These cribs were sold nationwide through retail and juvenile furniture stores from March 1997 through December 1998 for approximately $199 and have a natural wood finish with "NEXT GENERATION™" stamped in gold letters on the drop side rail.

According to the recall notice, Generation 2 Worldwide is out of business and no remedy is available. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and discard or destroy them.
