    The product, in the report: Franklin and Ben Liberty Crib white

    We purchased a high end Franklin and Ben crib for my infant some about a year ago. Last week my 8 month old was taking a nap. After being laid down for approx 20 min I noticed on the video monitor that he was playing with something. I went in to check on him and his face was covered in white paint and little piece of wood. A plastic crib rail protector had been placed on the front rail. When I went to look at where the wood could have come from I found that he had chewed off a chunk of wood from the underside of the crib! This seems like a giant safety and choking hazard. When I contacted the company they stated that the wood they used is soft enough that this is known to happen. HOW IS THIS ALLOWED!!!!!
