Canadian-made Baby Cribs Recalled

More than a dozen cribs made by Quebec-based manufacturer South Shore Furniture Ltd. have been recalled over an entrapment hazard.

Health Canada issued the recall July 12, citing the spacing between some crib slats is between three to 5.5 millimetres too wide, creating a dangerous opening where a child could get stuck.

It is believed 16 cribs have this issue. Those impacted include the Balka crib in pure white, black, navy blue and sage green, and the Dylan and Yodi cribs in pure white. They can be identified by the model number and order number found on the label on the inside bottom at one end of the crib.

Health Canada advises consumers to immediately stop using the cribs.

South Shore has not received any reports of incidents or injuries in Canada related to the product recall.

The ready-to-assemble furniture specialist is offering refunds. They can be requested through the company’s website.
