Crib Recall

Several large-scale recalls of hazardous cribs and bassinets have been instituted in the past few years.  Many of these recalls are the result of reports of strangulation, chocking, or falling hazards to infants and children, often resulting in serious injury or death.

Children's products maker Delta Enterprise Corp. announced a recall of 1.59 million cribs linked to two infant deaths. 
The voluntary recall is the result of "two different types of problematic hardware used on cribs sold from 1995 through 2005.  The hardware, which includes safety pegs for one set of cribs and spring pegs for another, can create a hazard if not properly installed. Additionally, the drop side of the cribs can fall and disengage, creating a gap that can entrap and suffocate infants.  Earlier this year, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of about 600,000 Simplicity Inc. drop-side cribs that involved hardware problems, and 900,000 Simplicity convertible bassinets after federal regulators linked the products to two infant deaths from strangulation.

One million Simplicity and Graco cribs, made in China, are being recalled -- the biggest such recall ever -- after three babies died. Federal regulators on September 21, 2007 announced the recall of about 1 million cribs made by Simplicity Inc. because the drop rail on some of the nation's best-selling models can detach from the crib, creating a dangerous gap that has led to the deaths of at least three children across the United States. The Federal Consumer Products and Safety Commission (CPSC) said it had received reports of three deaths, seven infants trapped and 55 other incidents relating to faulty drop rail hardware and design. In all three deaths, parents had unwittingly installed the drop rails upside down. The recalled Simplicity crib models include: Aspen 3 in 1, Aspen 4 in 1, Nursery-in-a-Box, Crib N Changer Combo, Chelsea and Pooh 4 in 1. The recall also involves the following Simplicity cribs that used the Graco logo: Aspen 3 in 1, Ultra 3 in 1, Ultra 4 in1, Ultra 5 in 1, Whitney and the Trio.
