Stork Craft Cribs
Nov. 23, 2009 - More than 2.1 million Stork Craft cribs in the U.S. and Canada are recalled because problems with the drop sides can result in entrapment or suffocation. The plastic drop side hardware can break, become deformed or go missing, or the drop sides could be installed upside down, leading to additional hardware problems. All of these issues can lead to the drop side detaching from the crib in one corner, which creates space between the crib and the mattress, which poses an entrapment and suffocation risk. If the drop sides come off entirely, children can fall from the crib. According to CPSC, there have been 15 reports of entrapment in these cribs, including four infants who suffocated. Twenty falls from the crib have also been reported. About 1.2 million cribs in the U.S. and 968,000 cribs in Canada are affected by this recall, including some that are Fisher Price branded. All Stork Craft drop-side cribs manufactured between Jan. 1993 and Oct. 2009 with plastic trigger and one-hand-system drop-side hardware are recalled. Also included in this recall are Fisher Price brand drop-side cribs manufactured between Oct. 1997 and Dec. 2004. The manufacturer name and date can be found on the assembly instruction sheet, which is attached to the mattress support board. You should stop using these cribs immediately and find an alternate sleeping environment for your baby until you receive and install the free repair kit. You can order the repair kit by calling 877-274-0277 or visiting storkcraft.com.
