Cribs recalled after four children become trapped

By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - Government safety advocates have announced a
recall of about 320,000 Jardine cribs, after four children became trapped. The wooden slats and spindles on the crib's frames can break.

Children can get trapped in the remaining gap. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is aware of at least 42 incidents of broken slats and spindles and four instances of children getting trapped. Two children suffered cuts and bruises.

The recalled cribs were manufactured in Taiwan by Jardine
Enterprises and sold by KidsWorld stores, Geoffrey stores, Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us. They were available nationwide between January 2002 and May 2008.
