WASHINGTON -- Ethan Allen and Kmart are among the entities participating in three separate recalls involving more than 40,000 drop-side cribs.

The third crib recall involved Angel Line.

In all three cases, the CPSC urged parents and caregivers to immediately stop using the recalled crib and contact the manufacturer or importer to receive a free repair kit that will immobilize the drop-side rail.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, approximately 3,250 drop-side cribs made by in the United States and China for Ethan Allen of Danbury, CT, have been recalled because the drop-side rail hardware can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, potentially creating an entrapment.

Ethan Allen has received five reports of incidents involving the crib’s drop-side detaching, resulting in bumps and bruises to three children.
