  1. No one hurt

    Made Jan 15, 2013, sent to the company Jan 29, 2013, published by CPSC Feb 20, 2013

    The product, in the report: The crib is a modern-looking very simple crib that was billed as being made out of hardwood, not pressed particle board (which was a selling point to us). The base of the crib has two rounded sides. Both sides have splintered horizontally, causing the crib to become unstable.

    I purchased a Bam Argington Crib/Bassinet Set in Ebony from online retailer Amazon.com on November 12, 2010 for my daughter. She has used it for approximately 2 years (we put her in the crib at about three months and she is 2 years and 1 month old currently). She is of normal height/weight for her age (28 pounds). She was in the crib and the base of the crib splintered without warning. It is duct-taped together now but I feel it is unsafe and that we need either a replacement part or, preferably, a new crib. I have tried to contact the company via email (as its website instructed) and by phone (I left a VM on a random employee’s voice mail because the mailbox for general complaints was full and was not taking more messages). I believe that the crib is unsafe and that you should look into this matter further to make sure other children aren’t in danger. Luckily my daughter is older and can talk and move around so we were able to get her out of the crib quickly but this could be deadly to a younger child who doesn’t have those capabilities yet.

    I believe that a crib, especially one that was $585.00, should last for at least two years (or at least through one child). The manufacturer claimed that the wood was all hardwood and was not pressed particle board, which was one of the main reasons we purchased it.

    If you do get them to respond to you, please tell them to give me a call to rectify my situation. I can be reached at [REDACTED] and my name is [REDACTED]. I will also be contacting my local and state representatives in this matter.

    Best regards, [REDACTED]
