Jardine Cribs is recalling over 56,000 more cribs after recalling 320,000 last June. (Read about the first recall HERE.)

The CPSC says "the wooden crib slats can break, creating a gap, which can pose an entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants and toddlers."

There have been 19 additional incidents of crib slats breaking. In nine of these incidents, consumers reported that their infant or toddler broke the slat while in the crib. In addition, a 22-month-old child fell through the gap between the crib slats when a slat broke. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves three models of Jardine wooden cribs:

• Model DA715BC - Dark Pine Olympia Lifetime Crib with a date code between 2/04 - 1/07
• Model 0108L00 - Antique Walnut Capri Single Crib with a date code between 7/06 - 11/07
• Model 0308C00 - White Capri Lifetime Crib with a date code between 12/05 - 11/07
• The date code and model number are printed on the label located on the inside of the bottom rail of the headboard or footboard.

The cribs were sold at KidsWorld, Geoffrey Stores, Toys “R” Us, and Babies “R” Us stores nationwide, and at babiesrus.com, from March 2004 through January 2009 for between $220 and $330.

The CPSC says "Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Jardine to receive a full credit toward the purchase of a new crib. Jardine will provide consumers with detailed instructions for purchasing cribs in retail stores and online."
