ParentDish has an item on a crib recall: apparently 320,000 Jardine Cribs have "slats and spindles [that] can break, creating a gap in which a baby's head could become entrapped." There have been 42 reported cases of this happening, although (thankfully) there are only 4 reported injuries, all minor.
The cribs are sold for anywhere from $150 to $450, depending on the model. I don't know if that's expensive or not, but it certainly sounds pricey.
Anyone with a Jardine Crib should visit this website that the company has set up to handle returns.
A big downside: a commenter on ParentDish points out that "it could take 3 weeks before you are able to get a voucher to get a new one. Where's the little one supposed to sleep?" That kinda sucks.
UPDATE: More info about the cribs and the recall, from people who own them.
