The Cranbury, N.J., based LaJobi Inc. today recalled about 220,000 drop side cribs sold last year due to a recent spate of reports that faulty hardware in the drop side poses a safety hazard to children.

The drop side can detach from the crib, falling to the ground and allowing infants to roll out of the crib. Children can also fall into the gap created by the fallen drop side and suffocate or be strangled.

LaJobi and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission have received a total of 99 reports of drop side incidents. One infant was reported to have suffered a mild concussion.

Consumers should contact LaJobi to receive a free hardware retrofit kit that will immobilize the drop side.
