  • John Lennon crib mobiles

John Lennon Musical Mobiles hang from white wooden dowels that attach to cribs with white clamps. "John LennonTM" and "MADE IN CHINA" is written on the wind-up music box that turns the mobile. The music box plays the song, "Imagine." The mobile has colorful wooden cut-outs of a rhinoceros, two elephants, a giraffe and a bird hanging from yellow ribbons. Below each animal is a round disk with a drawing of the animal it hangs from on the bottom.

Hazard

The screws that connect the mobile's arm assembly and crib clamp can become loose if overtightened. The arms can detach and fall into the crib, injuring the baby inside.

What to do

Consumers should stop using these mobiles immediately, and call The Betesh Group to receive a free replacement plastic mobile with stuffed animals.
