Crib recall and drop-side dangers

Earlier this month, a massive stroller recall had parents worried about pinching fingers and anxious to get a repair kit. But now the risk of suffocation has another company recalling millions of cribs in the largest crib recall in the U.S. – and you may need another kit.

Stork Craft Manufacturing along with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a voluntary recall of more than 2.1 million Stork Craft drop-side cribs, including some with a Fisher-Price logo. These cribs have a side that moves up and down making it easier for parents to lift children from the crib. But when pieces break or are assembled incorrectly, drop-down sides can become dangerous. In fact, there have been 110 incidents of drop-side detachment resulting in injury, children falling or becoming trapped, and in some cases suffocation.

The CPSC says to stop using the recalled crib immediately and contact Stork Craft for a free repair kit that converts the drop-side into a fixed side.

Contact Stork Craft at (877) 274-0277 or online
