Cribs sold by Babies R Us recalled
Cribs have been in the news a great deal lately, and for all the wrong reasons.
The latest crib recall is actually an expansion of one Jardine initially issued in June 2008.
This recall involves seven models of Jardine wooden cribs with the date codes identified on the CPSC site. Cribs with other date codes are not affected by this recall.
The date code and model number are printed on the label located on the inside of the bottom rail of the headboard or footboard.
The problem with the cribs is that the wooden crib slats can break, creating a gap, which can pose an entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants and toddlers.
The CPSC has received 31 incident reports of slats breaking, including two reports of children becoming entrapped in the gap created by the broken slat on the crib models identified below.
In 10 of these incidents, consumers reported that their child broke the slat while in the crib. There was one report of minor injuries (bumps and abrasions.
These cribs were sold at KidsWorld, Geoffrey Stores, Toys R Us, and Babies R Us stores nationwide, and at babiesrus.com, from September 2005 through April 2009 for between $220 and $330.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Jardine to receive a full credit toward the purchase of a new crib. Jardine will provide consumers with detailed instructions for purchasing cribs in retail stores and online.
For more information, call Jardine at (800) 646-4106 or visit www.jardinecribrecall.com.

TweetSuit cleaned for free for job-seekers
Long Cleaners, which has four Miami Valley locations, is reaching out to the unemployed in the community.
The third-generation dry cleaners is having a special on May 20 and 27, offering a free suit cleaning those days and help finding a job, said co-owner Tom Perry. Customers need to bring in their resumes.
“We’re excited about it,” Perry said. “My wife and I have noticed a couple of other businesses in the Miami Valley doing nice things for the community because of the unemployment factor, and we wanted to take part.”
Perry said that, with this deal, job-seekers will not only get a free cleaning, but they also will get help finding a job.
“I have a friend, Angela Gearhart, who works with Adecco (employment services),” Perry said, “so I asked her if she would want to help with this.”
“All we’re asking is that they (customers) bring in a resume and we’ll give them a suit cleaning for free,” said Perry, adding that representatives from Adecco will be on hand to offer tips about individual resumes and to then fax the resumes to Adecco to try to find job placements.
Long Cleaners will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on those Wednesdays, May 20 and 27.
The four stores are in Fairborn on Dayton-Yellow Springs Road, in Beavercreek on Dayton-Xenia Road, in Miami Twp. on Springboro Pike (across from LexisNexis) and in Miamisburg on Main Street.
