Stork Craft recalls defective drop-side cribs in US and Canada
Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc has announced that the company is voluntarily recalling more than 2 million cribs sold in the U.S. and Canada. The cribs subject to the recall include Stork Craft cribs made between January 1993 and October 2009 including 147,000 with the Fisher-Price logo. The Company has decided to take this step after reports of potential risk of trammel and suffocation of kids.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission informed the masses that four deaths have led from suffocation in cribs with drop-down sides made by the company, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a statement posed on its website.
U.S. and Canadian officials have received a total of 110 reports of accidents associated with Stork Craft drop-side cribs. The problem is that the plastic hardware may malfunction causing the side to detach and creating some open space that is big enough to entrap the baby who can be suffocated in the position.
The US safety agency said parents should stop using the recalled cribs immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free repair kit.
