Over 2 Million Cribs Recalled


A recall was issued on June 24 of over 2 million cribs made by 7 different companies. This recall targets cribs with drop down and movable sides. The sides may become unattached from the crib, due to hardware failure or incorrect assembly. This creates a space where the baby's head could become lodged or trapped in the open gap, which could result in strangulation or suffocation.

The cribs affected by the recall are made by Evenflo, Delta Cribs, LaJobi, Million Dollar Baby, Jardine Enterprises, Simmons Juvenile Products, and Childcraft. For a list the model numbers being recalled, visit the CPSC website, http://www.cpsc.gov/.

If you believe you own one of the malfunctioning cribs, the CPSC has recommended that you stop using the crib immediately and contact the company that made your crib.
