We continue to get emails like this one this morning from a reader on the Jardine crib "situation":
Bought a jardine crib from BRU at beginning of may and never heard anything about this til today when i happened to google it – just called my local BRU and they said to bring back the crib and and they would give me a full refund on it and any matching furniture pieces. what a hassle and why wasn't i notified? grrrrrrr due in a month and now have to find a new crib?!?!?!
As you remember, this blog was the first to report about the mysterious disappearance of Jardine cribs at Babies R Us for "safety inspections."
That was back on May 21. Hmmm. It is now a month later and nothing but silence from Babies R Us and Jardine. So we have fired off another email to Babies R Us asking for an update today. Stay tuned!
The recall has been announced:
320,000 cribs for entrapment — wood spindles and slats breaking. Parents can get a voucher for a new crib from Toys”R”US/Babies”R”Us.

I have a Jardine crib that is not part of the recall. How can I trust a manufacturer behind one of the biggest crib recalls in history?

I think I have one of the recalled cribs, I just found out about this tonight. DD is 2 and doesn’t move around much at night, so I’m not going to be waking her tonight. I’m thankful that no-one was seriously hurt before the recall. But I’m also frustrated because the crib is part of a matching set…now the pieces won’t match? I spent a lot of money on putting together the room. Ours is a lifetime crib, so it is supposed to convert to a bed, but we were hoping to use it as a crib again for baby #2! And with the crib being purchased 2 years ago…how far will that voucher really go toward the purchase of a new crib? GRRRR!

I called Jardine at 800-646-4106. After about 10 attempts, I got through. The person I spoke with was extremely confused. I explained that I have two of model number DV830W. She told me it was not part of the recall. I told her it appeared on the list on the press release and was even pictured on the front page of my local news as being one of the recall cribs. She read the model number back to me and it was correct. She checked further and realized she was wrong that my crib was in fact an affected model. Then she asked for the manufactured date. I told her 03-2005. She replied “Up, not part of the affected cribs’. Then she put me on hold for a long time and when she came back she told me it was affected. My advice to anyone is to forget the 800 number and fill the form out online jardinecribrecall.com!!!! I wonder how many people called that day and were told their cribs were not affected when in fact, they were. I own two of these cribs (twins) and am worried they aren’t going to be able to handle this recall.
