Millions of Cribs Recalled
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a recall notice for more than two million cribs. Concern is growing over the safety of certain “drop-side” and “fixed-side” cribs and their potential to harm young children. Research conducted by the CPSC, revealed that certain brands of cribs, contained a potentially dangerous defect that allows a baby’s head to become trapped, leading to an increased risk of suffocation and strangulation. The CPSC is urging parents and care providers to check to see if their crib is part of the nationwide recall, and if so, immediately stop using the product. Recalled brands include Child Craft, Delta Enterprise Corp., Evenflo, Jardine Enterprises, LaJobi, Million Dollar Baby, and Simmons Juvenile cribs manufactured since 2000. Full details are available from http://www.cpsc.gov or from the manufacturers website.
