LaJobi Inc. has reannounced a <“https://www.yourlawyer.com/practice_areas/product_liability”>recall of its “Molly” and “Betsy” Cribs that were implicated in the death of an infant. LaJobi first issued this recall in 2000, due to an entrapment and strangulation hazard.

This re-issuance is voluntarily being undertaken to both alert consumers who may still have these cribs in their possession and to especially alert thrift stores and other similar second hand stores that these cribs should not be given away, sold or continued to be used.

According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), these cribs have cut-outs in the end panels that can allow young children to get their heads entrapped, which can pose a strangulation hazard to infants and toddlers. The CPSC is aware of the death of a one-year old girl whose head and neck became entrapped in the headboard cut-out of the “Betsy” style crib in 2003 in Mississippi, following the 2001 recall. No additional incidents or injuries have been reported.

This recall involves approximately 400 “Molly” and “Betsy” style wooden cribs. The end panels on the “Molly” style cribs are made of solid wood with openings on both sides. The end panels on the “Betsy” style cribs are constructed with wood slats. The model numbers are printed inside the headboard at the bottom.

The model numbers and colors of the “Molly” cribs involved in the recall are: 0101327 02 (Natural), 0101327 11 (Antique Green) and 0101327 12 (Antique White).

The model numbers of the “Betsy” cribs are: 0101257 02 (Natural), 0101257 11 (Antique Green) and 0101257 12 (Antique White).

Both cribs were sold at juvenile specialty stores nationwide from May 2000 through September 2001 for about $700 for the Molly model and $650 for the Betsy model. The cribs have not been available at retail since 2001.

Consumers should stop using these cribs immediately and contact LaJobi to receive replacement end panels which eliminates the hazard. For additional information, contact LaJobi at (800) 266-2848 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.Lajobi.com.

I contacted Parker Waichman a little over 2 years ago in regards to a WTC claim. PW informed me, at that time, that I had to register with the WTC Health Plan. Well, this led to 2 years of patience, health exams and time (on both my part and PW's part) to have my health conditions certified. Directly following certification, Nicole Copertino quickly pushed my claim through with diligence and expert professionalism. I truly appreciate her care and concern for me. I look forward to a positive outcome. Duly note her expertise and talent. Thank You Nicole. Looking forward to working with you through to the outcome.

The employees at Parker Waichman were extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in resolving all matters pertaining to my case. I consulted with several members of the Parker Waichman team throughout the process and I was extremely impressed with their knowledge and genuine concern for me as an individual. I worked extensively with Benita Rollis towards the end of my case. She was extremely professional and detail oriented. She was always there to answer any question I had no matter how insignificant it may have been. I could not have done it without Benita and Parker Waichman helping me navigate this process every step of the way. I would highly recommend Parker Waichman.
