There was a huge crib recall November 2009. A baby died from getting his stuck between the rails on the side. That sounds like a huge law suit to me. I think nothing is ever safe for babies.

Storkcraft Crib Recall

Over 2.1 million drop-side cribs, manufactured by Stork Craft, have been recalled in the United States and Canada.

It is one of the biggest crib recalls in U.S. history.

The recall involves Stork Craft drop-side cribs and Stork Craft drop-side cribs with the Fisher-Price logo.

The CPSC has advised parents and caregivers to stop using the recalled cribs immediately and wait for a free repair kit.

Nearly 5 million cribs have been recalled in the last two years.

“I think it’s just the next step in trying to move to a safer crib,” said Nancy Cowles, Executive Director of Kids in Danger.

The drop rail can detach from the crib, leaving a gap into which babies can become stuck and suffocate, officials said.

“It’s the one place intended to leave a child unattended. So in all likelihood, if something does happen, the parent probably won’t be there at the time, and so we need to make them as safe as possible,” said Cowels.

For a complete list of recalled cribs, go to the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website at www.cpsc.gov.
