HAZARD
Voluntary recall
UNITS: About 11,400
MANUFACTURER: Jardine Enterprises Ltd., of
Taipei, Taiwan
DISTRIBUTOR: J.C. Penney, of Plano, Texas
DESCRIPTION: This recall involves full-size cribs
sold under the Alexander Designs brand name.
“Alexander Designs Ltd.” and the JCPenney catalog/
item number are printed on a label on the crib’s
headboard.
The drop-side rail hardware on the
cribs can break or fail, allowing the
drop side to detach from the crib.
When the drop side detaches, a
hazardous gap is created between
the drop-side rail and the crib
mattress in which infants and
toddlers can become wedged or
entrapped, posing risks of
suffocation and strangulation. In
addition, children can fall out of
the crib when the drop-side rail
falls unexpectedly or detaches
from the crib. Drop-side rail
failures also can occur due to
incorrect assembly or with agerelated wear and tear. Other
models of Jardine drop-side cribs
were recalled for repair on June
24, 2010.
INCIDENTS/INJURIES
CPSC has received two reports of
incidents involving drop-side
malfunctions on Alexander
Designs drop-side cribs. In one
incident, which involved a crib that
had been misassembled, the
plastic hardware broke and the
drop-side rail fell unexpectedly. In
a second incident, a hardware
failure caused the drop-side rail to
detach from the crib. No injuries
were reported.

CONSUMER
ACTION
UNITS: 516,000
Pressure from the buildup of
carbon dioxide in the jars of Bath
Bombs/Balls or Bath Fizzies that
come with the kits can cause the
unvented lids to blow off, posing
explosion and projectile hazards.
The flying pieces also can cause
property damage. Additionally, the
mixture of water with the Bath
Bombs/Balls or Bath Fizzies can
create citric acid. This acid can get
into consumers’ eyes when the
jars explode, posing a risk of eye
irritation.
Consumers should
immediately take the
toy’s jars and caps
away from children
and dispose of any
jar lids without vent
holes. Only use jars
that have lids with
vent holes.
INCIDENTS/INJURIES
As of January 2009, CPSC had
received 88 reports of exploding
jars, including 13 injuries to
children. Since that time, CPSC
has received 12 additional reports
of exploding unvented jars of
JAKKS’ Bath Bombs/Balls or Bath
Fizzies, including 13 additional
reported injuries. The new injuries
include irritated eyes, irritated skin
and one eye injury from projectile
