On June 26, 2008, Stanley Furniture Company Inc. recalled about 1,200 2nd Nature Built to Grow Cribs because they could fail to meet a federal safety standard for crib dimensions, and may pose an entrapment hazard to infants.

The mattresses in the recalled cribs, when the mattress support is in the middle setting, may create a space between the mattress and the crib that could be too wide.

Included in the recall are 2nd Nature Built to Grow Cribs with model number 353-14-220. Located on the headboard are the model number and the serial numbers. The following serial numbers are included in the recall:

• 353-14-220-L-01,
• 353-14-220-L-02,
• 353-14-220-L-03,
• 353-14-220-L-04,
• 353-14-220-L-05,
• 353-14-220-L-06,
• 353-14-220-L-07,
• 353-14-220-L-08,
• 353-14-220-L-101, and
• 353-14-220-L-103.

Cribs sold after December 2007 are not included in the Stanley Furniture Company recall.

Department stores and furniture stores sold the recalled Stanley Furniture Company cribs from March 2006 through December 2007 for about $1,100.

Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the recalled crib in the middle mattress setting. Customers may contact Stanley Furniture at 888-839-6822 to receive a free replacement crib headboard if it is included in the recall. For more information, consumers may visit the company’s website.
