Full-Size and Portable Drop-Side Cribs
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Dream on Me is recalling full-size and portable drop-side cribs because the drop-side rail hardware can break or fail, causing the drop side to detach or fall unexpectedly. In full-size cribs, a detached drop side can create a gap between the side and mattress where infants or toddlers can become entrapped, potentially leading to strangulation or suffocation, or allow children to fall out of the crib. In portable cribs, the mattress support hardware and drop-side release latch can also break easily, slats can loosen or detach, and children can cut themselves on exposed hardware.
Full-size cribs (models 612, 613, 615, 616, 617, 619, 628, and 639) manufactured between January 2006 and December 2009 are affected, as are portable cribs (models 621, 625, and 627) manufactured between August 2007 and February 2009. According to the recall, consumers should immediately stop using the cribs and contact the company. Owners of full-size cribs will receive a free kit to immobilize the drop side, available starting June 30, 2011. Owners of portable cribs can receive a free replacement crib with fixed sides, available in mid-July 2011.

Full-Size Cribs: The drop-side rail hardware can break or fail, allowing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop-side rail partially detaches, it creates a space between the drop side and the crib mattress. An infant or toddler's body can become entrapped in the space, which can lead to strangulation and/or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. Portable Cribs: The drop-side rail hardware can break or fail, allowing the drop side to detach from the crib or fall unexpectedly. In addition, the portable crib mattress support hardware and the drop-side release latch can break easily, and the slats can loosen or break and detach from the crib. Children can also cut themselves on exposed hardware inside the cribs.
Consumers should immediately stop using these cribs and contact the company. Full-Size Cribs: Consumers will be given a free kit that will immobilize the drop side. Kits will be available beginning June 30, 2011. Portable Cribs: Consumers can receive a free replacement portable crib with fixed sides. Replacement cribs will be available in mid-July 2011.

Full-Size Cribs: Models 612, 613, 615, 616, 617, 619, 628, and 639 are included in this recall. The model number and "Dream on Me Inc." are printed on a label located on the inside of one of the end panels. The label lists a manufacture date between January 2006 and December 2009.
