Massive Crib Recall
This is an important safety alert because of the number of cribs and the severity of the possible accident. Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc. is recalling 2.1 million drop-side cribs, 147,000 of which have the Fisher-Price logo on them. Prompting this is the death of four infants who became trapped and suffocated when a space was created between the drop-side door and the mattress due to faulty parts. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) urges “parents and caregivers to immediately stop using the recalled cribs, wait for the free repair kit, and do not attempt to fix the cribs without the kit. They should find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. Consumers should contact Stork Craft to receive a free repair kit that converts the drop-side on these cribs to a fixed side.” Go to the CPSC site for more information.
