Child
Craft Industries, of Salem, Ind., is voluntarily recalling about 4,300 changing
tables. Some changing table joints were not properly glued and can separate,
presenting a fall hazard to babies. Child Craft has received six reports of the
changing tables falling apart, including one report of a baby starting to fall
from a collapsing table when her mother caught her. No injuries have been
reported.
The changing table is made of beech wood and comes in a variety of colors
including white, honey oak, natural and cherry finishes. The table measures
about 38 inches high by 35 inches wide by 20 inches deep. There are two labels
on one of the rails of the changing table. One label is gold and reads in part
"Child Craft Industries" and the other label is stamped in black ink
and reads in part "FoppsPedretti, Made in Italy." Department and
specialty stores nationwide, including Sears and Burlington Coat Factory, sold
the changing tables from August 1998 through April 2001 for about $150.
Consumers should stop using the recalled changing tables immediately and
call Child Craft at (866) 423-3114 between 8:30a.m.and 5:30 p.m. ET Monday
through Friday to receive information on participating in this recall.
