01021 · Recalled 2000-10-27 · CPSC page
Description
John Lennon Musical Mobiles hang from white wooden dowels that attach to cribs with white clamps. "John LennonTM" and "MADE IN CHINA" is written on the wind-up music box that turns the mobile. The music box plays the song, "Imagine." The mobile has colorful wooden cut-outs of a rhinoceros, two elephants, a giraffe and a bird hanging from yellow ribbons. Below each animal is a round disk with a drawing of the animal it hangs from on the bottom.
Hazards
The screws that connect the mobile's arm assembly and crib clamp can become loose if overtightened. The arms can detach and fall into the crib, injuring the baby inside.
Reported injuries
CPSC and The Betesh Group have received seven reports of bumps and scratches to babies after the mobiles attached to their cribs fell on them.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using these mobiles immediately, and call The Betesh Group to receive a free replacement plastic mobile with stuffed animals.
