Baby cribs pose risk to children

B.C.-based Jysk Linen 'n Furniture is recalling 90 baby cribs for weak frames that pose a risk of entrapping small children.
The company warned consumers last week to stop using the Eva Baby Crib following a customer complaint. Tests showed the crib's vertical wood spindles could be bent to allow a space of 60 mm, posing a risk of entrapment.
No injuries have been reported. The cribs, manufactured in China, were sold at Jysk Linen 'n Furniture stores across Canada between July 2006 and June 2007.
Consumers should return them to the stores of purchase for full refunds.
