Pottery Barn Penny Convertible Cribs recall: Reason, affected model number, and all you need to know

Around 300 Pottery Barn Kids Penny Convertible Cribs are being recalled from across the country over concerns of laceration hazards. Recalled by the Pottery Barn Kids, the affected cribs are feared to become loose and may expose sharp edges posing risks of a laceration to small children and babies sleeping in them.

Announced on July 20, 2023, the nationwide recall only applies to select PBK Penny Convertible Cribs that may be affected by the problem. Featuring the model number (SKU) 2850473, the recalled Penny Convertible Cribs can convert into toddler beds when necessary. When used for some time, the end panels on the cribs can become loose, thus exposing sharp edges and putting children at risk.
