Speed of Response: There have been many models that have been recalled. Since 2007 there have been 320,000 cribs recalled. [2] There have been over 28 different models recalled as well. [4]
Responsibility: I have not been able to find a article or letter from Jardine Cribs stating they were at fault or that they were sympathetic to the injured victims.

Legal Consequences: I could not find anything about the legal issues with Jardine cribs. I found many lawyers advertising services to go after Jardine cribs but nothing else.
Reputation: According to several parenting websites which review cribs, Jardine Cribs seems to be getting some good reviews mixed in with a couple of bad here and there. It appears that Jardine Cribs reputation has not been tarnished by this recall. [5]
Sales: According to Toys”R”US website, it seems that Jardine Cribs are no longer sold. There is another company that is under Jardine Cribs which is selling cribs and beds for children.
