Largest Crib Recall In History, Are You Effected?

The CPSC urges parents and caregivers to immediately stop using the recalled cribs and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby.

Stork Craft drop-side cribs, including Stork Craft drop-side cribs with the Fisher-Price logo are being recalled. In what has become the largest recall in US history over 2.1 million cribs are being recalled.  The the head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission admitted that the agency “hasn’t been acting as quickly as it should.” Which is a rather frightening and quite off-putting statement.

Here is a description of the models from the CDC:

This recall involves Stork Craft Baby cribs and Stork Craft cribs with the Fisher-Price logo. All Stork Craft Baby cribs with manufacturing and distribution dates between May 2000 and November 2008 are included in this recall. All Stork Craft cribs with the Fisher-Price logo have distribution dates between May 2000 and December 2004. The cribs were sold in various styles and finishes. The manufacture date, model number, crib name, country of origin, and the firm’s name, address, and contact information are located on the assembly instruction sheet attached to the mattress support board. The firm’s insignia “Storkcraft baby” or “storkling” is inscribed on the drop side teething rail of some cribs. In the product that contains the “Fisher-Price” logo, this logo can be found on the crib’s teething rail, in the manufacturer’s instructions, on the assembly instruction sheet attached to the mattress support board, and on the end panels of the Twinkle-Twinkle and Crystal crib models.

The crib recall had been issues over four infant deaths and the cribs effected are drop-side models, and the production year goes all the way back to 1993.  The maker of the effected cribs is Canadian Stork Manufacturing, the recall effect 1.2 million cribs in the US and about 1 million in Canada.

The cribs were sold at::

Major retailers including J.C. Penney, Kmart and Walmart stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Babiesrus.com, Costco.com and Walmart.com from May 2000 through January 2009 for between $100 and $400.
