Pottery Barn Kids Drop-Side Crib Class Action Lawsuit
Pottery Barn Kids has recalled its Drop-Side Cribs for repair Due to possible Entrapment, Suffocation and Fall Hazards. The cribs drop-sides could become detach if hardware breaks, and can create a space in to which a young child or toddler could become entrapped possibly leading to suffocation. It’s possible a child could also fall out of the crib. The Drop side problems can occur due to incorrect assembly or because of age-related wear and tear.
CPSC and Pottery Barn Kids have so far received 36 reports of drop sides that have malfunctioned or detached. The result has been seven minor injuries when children either fell out of the cribs or their legs became caught between the mattress and the drop side. One child even became entrapped at the head between the drop side and crib mattress but was fortunately freed without injury.
