Stork Craft Recall Millions of Cribs

Description: The cribs’ drop-side plastic hardware can break, deform, or parts can become missing. In addition, the drop-side can be installed upside-down, which can result in broken or disengaged plastic parts.  When the drop-side detaches, it creates space between the drop-side and the crib mattress. The bodies of infants and toddlers can become entrapped in the space, which can lead to suffocation. Complete detachment of drop-sides can lead to falls from the crib.

Sold At: Major retailers in the United States and Canada, including BJ’s Wholesale Club, J.C. Penney, Kmart, Meijer, Sears, USA Baby, and Wal-Mart stores and online at Amazon.com, Babiesrus.com, Costco.com, Target.com, and Walmart.com from January 1993 through October 2009 for between $100 and $400.

What to do if you own a recalled crib: Immediately stop using the recalled cribs, wait for the free repair kit, and do not attempt to fix the cribs without the kit. Contact Stork Craft to receive a free repair kit that converts the drop-side on these cribs to a fixed side.
