Baby Appleseed Recalls Cribs Due to Fall Hazard

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in
cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of
the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled
products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Name of Product: Davenport Cribs

Units: About 500

Importer: Baby Appleseed, of City of Industry, Calif.

Hazard: The cribs fail to meet the federal safety standards for cribs. The
cribs have a two mattress support system. The secondary mattress support,
used for the lowest position, does not meet the full 26 inch minimum height
in its lowest position, allowing children inside to crawl over the railing,
posing a fall hazard.

Incidents/Injuries: None reported.

Description: The recall includes Davenport crib models that begin with the
model numbers 273-xxxx-xxxx and have manufacture dates on or before August
2007 printed on a label located on the right side of the lower inner panel
of the crib. The recalled cribs have two mattress support systems-a metal
one and a wooden one. Newer Davenport cribs with model numbers beginning
with 244-xxxx-xxxx that have one mattress support are not included in the
recall.

Sold at: Specialty juvenile product stores nationwide from December 2006
through September 2007 for between $600 and $800.

Manufactured in: Vietnam

Remedy: Consumers should stop using the recalled cribs in the third lowest
position, which uses the wooden mattress support, and contact Baby Appleseed
to receive a repair kit. Consumers who are currently using the crib with the
metal mattress support in the top or middle positions can continue to use
the crib in those positions while awaiting a repair kit. (NOTE: Repair Kits
will be available from the firm in mid-August 2008)

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Baby Appleseed at
(877) 348-2199 anytime, or visit the firm's Web site at
www.babyappleseed.com
