Over 2 million cribs were recalled recently by Stork Craft, a manufacturer of drop-side cribs.
The recall was in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC issued a statement urging parents and caregivers to immediately stop using the recalled cribs. The drop-side can be installed upside-down, which can result in broken or disengaged plastic parts. The defect in the cribs can create a dangerous space between the drop-side and the crib mattress. As a result, infants and toddlers can become entrapped in the space which can then lead to suffocation.
A free repair kit can be ordered by calling Stork Craft anytime, toll-free at (877) 274-0277. For helpful tips on Crib Safety, please visit CPSC’s Crib Information Center.
