WASHINGTON, June 25 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Jardine cribs due to a strangulation and entrapment hazard.

About 320,000 of the cribs made by Jardine Enterprises of Taipei, Taiwan, and found at KidsWorld, Geoffrey Stores, Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us, were sold between January 2002 and last May for between $150 and $450.

There have been 42 incidents of the crib's wooden slats and spindles breaking creating a gap that can entrap and strangle an infant, CPSC said in a statement.

Consumers were advised to stop using the cribs and contact Jardine for full credit toward purchase of a new crib.

Consumers can also call Jardine at 800-646-4106 for more information.
