A recall has issued by the U.S. Product Consumer Product Safety Commission for Jardine Cribs.
The first recall was issued in June of 2008. The hazard on the first recall was listed that the wooden crib slats and spindles can break, creating a gap, which can pose an entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants.
The cause for the recall was due to 42 incidents of crib slats and spindles breaking. Four children became entrapped in the space created by a broken slat or spindle. Two of the children had abrasions and bruising.
The second recall in January of 2009 was for the same hazard on different models. The second recall was as a result of the CPSC receiving 19 additional incidents of crib slats breaking. In nine of these incidents, consumers reported that their infant or toddler broke the slat while in the crib. In addition, a 22-month-old child fell through the gap between the crib slats when a slat broke. No injuries have been reported.

Why Do Babies Cry:
A crying baby can be very upsetting and stressful, especially if this is your first. Responding to a baby’s cry is an instinct that has been with us from the beginning of time. As baby grows and changes, the reasons why they cry also change. Their cries also sound differently for different situations for most babies. For example, a tired baby cry may be a soft and slow cry where as a hungry cry may be very loud and demanding. Your baby will have his or her own style of communication. You will become familiar with your baby’s voice and be able to respond to their needs. Above all, RELAX and stay CALM. If you are stressed, your baby will sense this and may cry even more. Some common reasons why babies cry are described below.
