2.1 Million Cribs Recalled

HeadlineNov 24, 2009

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled more than 2.1 million cribs following four reports of infant suffocations. The agency also said there have been 110 incidents of drop-sides detaching from the cribs. Some of the cribs recalled have been on the market for sixteen years. Earlier today, the head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission conceded it has not been “acting as quickly as it should” on crib safety problems. The cribs were made by Stork Craft Manufacturing and were sold at major retailers including BJ’s Wholesale Club, Sears and Wal-Mart stores and online through Target and Costco.
