Incident Overview

On February 28, 2026, a consumer reported that their child accessed and removed a screw from a Baby Relax Adele 3-in-1 Convertible Crib during normal use. The child began choking on the screw, but the parent intervened and the child was not injured. The crib, manufactured in January 2024, was purchased from Walmart on May 21, 2024.

The consumer described the screw as accessible and detachable, creating a choking hazard in a sleep environment. They expressed concern about hardware loosening and child access to small parts. The incident, filed with the CPSC SaferProducts database (Report ID 5927338), is classified as a choking hazard due to a design defect. No medical attention was required, but the consumer characterized it as a near-miss.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: A choking hazard from small, detachable parts can obstruct a child's airway, leading to asphyxiation within minutes. The screw's size makes it particularly dangerous for infants and toddlers, who explore objects orally. Even if removed quickly, partial obstruction can cause brain damage due to oxygen deprivation.

Long-Term Risks: Continued use of a crib with loosening hardware increases the risk of additional small parts becoming detached. Over time, structural integrity may degrade, potentially leading to collapse or other hazards. Repeated near-miss incidents can also cause emotional distress for caregivers.

Who Might Be Affected: The primary risk is to children under three years old who use the crib. However, any child or adult in proximity could be affected if a detached part is encountered. The hazard is especially acute during unsupervised sleep or play.

Warning Signs: Consumers should watch for loose or vibrating screws, visible gaps between crib components, or any small parts that appear accessible. Regular inspection of all hardware is recommended. If a screw is found loose or missing, the crib should be taken out of service immediately.
