| For those who have not subscribed to www.CPSC.gov for regular reports on recalls, an alert is being provided. The lodging industry has a special challenge in providing a safe crib environment for infants. Therefore, a continuing review of the condition of the cribs and immediate removal from service of recalled units is critical.
Mother Hubbard's Cupboards, of Toronto Canada. They have recalled approximately 1300 cribs sold from March, 2006 through March, 2008 for between $500 and $650. The cribs fail to meet federal safety standards. The distance between the mattress support bracket in the lowest position and the top of the side rail in the highest position is less than the required 26 inches, posing a fall hazard to children who climb over the railing.

Manufactured in Vietnam. The cribs fail to meet federal safety standards for cribs. The cribs have a two mattress support system. The secondary mattress support, used for 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.
