Millions of drop-side cribs recalled
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling over two million Stork Craft drop-side cribs because the drop-side can detach. The detachment can create space between the drop-side and the crib mattress, where a child can fall or become entrapped in the space, which can lead to suffocation. The CPSC urges parents to immediately stop use of the drop-side crib and request a free repair kit by contacting Stork Craft at (877) 274-0277 or www.storkcraft.com. In the meantime, parents should find another safe sleeping environment for baby until the repair kit arrives. Do not attempt to fix the cribs without the free repair kit.
The recall involves Stork Craft drop-side cribs made between January 1993 and October 2009. The recall also includes Stork Craft drop-side cribs with a Fisher-Price logo and made between October 1997 and December 2004. For more information, visit the CPSC Web site.
