Mothercare has recalled one of its cribs, the Hyde Crib, over fears that it could cause injury.
The base of a small number of the Hyde Cribs have been found to detach from the frame. It only applies to cribs with batch dates between January 2017 and November 2017. The batch date can be located at the base of the crib.
On its website Mothercare said:
“Mothercare is recalling its Hyde Crib. This is due to a risk of injury posed by a safety issue of the base detaching from the frame.
It effects a small number of cribs sold, with batch dates from January 2017 to November 2017. All earlier batch dates are unaffected. The batch date can be found on the crib base.
This crib is sold in Mothercare stores, the Mothercare website and various other outlets.”
Anyone with a faulty crib can return it to their local store for a full refund. The store has issued guidelines for how you can check if your crib is affected:
“If the bottom rail, with blocks on which you sit the base, is shorter than the top rail then your crib is not affected, picture A.
If the bottom rail, with blocks on which you sit the base, is longer than the top rail then your crib is unsafe and should be returned to store, picture B.”
It added:
“If your crib is affected, please stop using it immediately and return your product to your nearest Mothercare Ireland store where a full refund will be given.
This action has been taken to ensure the safety and well-being of our customers and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”
