The 2nd Nature Built to Grow cribs could fail to meet federal safety standards, and when the the mattress support is in the middle setting, the space between the mattress and crib could be too wide.

The U.S. Consumer and Product Safety Commission said no incidents or injuries have been reported for the cribs.

The cribs were manufactured in Slovenia and were sold at department and furniture stores from March 2006 through December 2007 for about $1,100. They have the model number 353-14-220.

The CPSC said consumers should immediately stop using the crib in the middle mattress setting, and adjust it to the low or high setting.

The agency said consumers should contact Stanley Furniture at (888) 839-6822 to determine if the crib is subject to recall, and if it is, to receive a free replacement crib headboard. (Reporting by Karey Wutkowski, editing by Phil Berlowitz)
