The recall involves the SunKids convertible crib/playpen/bassinet/bed with model number PY256. "SunKids" is embroidered on the bottom left of the crib"s drop side.

The convertible cribs have a drop side rail, stationary side rail, canopy assembly, and bassinet. The sides of the convertible crib are fabric and mesh. The mattress support, bassinet, canopy, and bed skirt are covered in fabric.

The fabric and the mesh were sold in navy blue, light blue, pink, beige, white, beige checker, and pink heart.

The cribs were sold at small juvenile product retailers in N.Y., N.J., and California from January 2007 through October 2008 for about $100.

The sides of the crib are made of mesh that expands, creating a gap between the side and the crib's mattress if it's not zipped into place, or a gap between the side and an added mattress. Your baby can slip into this gap and become entrapped or suffocate. Also, the crib's drop side can fail to fully latch posing a fall hazard to your baby.

No incidents have been reported with this crib. However, CPSC is aware of the death of a 5-month-old child in August 2008 involving another company's nearly identical crib that was recalled. The child became entrapped between the mattress and the mesh side and suffocated.

The voluntarily recalled baby products consist of 1,900 units.

Stop using the recalled convertible cribs and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund.
