Re: Warning,,"New" Bassett Crib Recall.

Is this another new one, or the same one from the past couple of months?

Re: Warning,,"New" Bassett Crib Recall.

Brand new!!!! Can you believe it.
I just found out that when the company can prove they can reach more than 95% of the purchasers, they only issue a 'recall alert' not a full press release.

So the 5% are 'S.O.L.' Sh*& OUT OF LUCK and written off.
