Stork Craft Crib Recall
In November 2009, Stork Craft Manufacturing has recalled 2.1 million Stork Craft Cribs due to:
- Entrapment
- Suffocation
- Fall Hazards
The recall involves approximately 1,213,000 units distributed in the United States and 968,000 units distributed in Canada.
The reason that this may occur is due to faulty hardware on the recalled drop-side cribs. It may detach allowing for children to get trapped causing serious injury, suffocation or death. Stork Craft is providing repair kits for owners of these crib in order to fix the drop-sides. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has warned parents to not use these cribs and used alternative safe sleeping arrangements until they are fixed.
CPSC, Health Canada, and Stork Craft are aware of 110 incidents of drop-side detachment. These incidents include 15 entrapment; 12 in the U.S. and three in Canada. Four of the entrapments resulted in suffocation: a 7-month-old in Gouverneur, N.Y.; a 7-month-old in New Iberia, La.; a 6-month-old in Summersville, W.Va.; and a 9-month-old in Bronx, N.Y. Included in these incidents are 20 falls from cribs.
Fall injuries ranged from concussion to bumps and bruises. The cribs involved in these incidents had plastic drop-side hardware that had broken, missing, or deformed claws, connectors, tracks, or flexible tab stops; loose or missing metal spring clips; stripped screws; and/or drop-sides installed upside-down.
