Pottery Barn Kids Recalls Crib Bumpers

July 24, 2007
Pottery Barn Kids is recalling about 31,000 Matelassé crib bumpers. The decorative stitching on the bumper’s edge can come loose, posing an entanglement hazard to young children.

This recall involves the Diamond Matelassé, Floral Matelassé and Polka Dot Matelassé crib bumpers made of 100% cotton. The Diamond Matelassé bumpers are white and have decorative thread in pink, blue, green, yellow or chocolate stitched along the scalloped edge. The Polka Dot and Floral bumpers come in assorted colors with matching decorative stitching. A label on the bumper reads “pottery barn kids”.

The cribs were sold at Pottery Barn Kids stores nationwide, its catalog, and online stores from February 2003 through June 2007 for about $90.

They were manufactured in Portugal.

Consumers should stop using the bumpers immediately and remove any exposed stitching, or contact Pottery Barn Kids for a refund.
