Infant Deaths Prompt Stork Craft to Recall 2.1 Million Cribs
2009-11-24 05:00:00.0 GMT


By Mark Drajem
Nov. 24 (Bloomberg) -- The deaths of four U.S. infants
spurred the recall of 2.1 million cribs made by Stork Craft
Manufacturing Inc. of Canada, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission said.
Parents and caregivers should stop using the cribs and
“find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their
baby,” the CPSC said in a statement yesterday.
The recall is the largest involving cribs by the consumer
protection agency. The cribs were sold since 1993 by retailers
including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., BJ’s Wholesale Club Inc. and
online at Babiesrus.com. Some were sold under the Fisher-Price
brand, the CPSC said.
Stork Craft is based in British Columbia, and the cribs
were made in China, Canada and Indonesia. The recall includes
968,000 cribs sold in Canada. The company couldn’t immediately
be reached for comment.
Companies have recalled more than 5 million cribs,
bassinets and play yards in the past two years, as the products
posed suffocation risks and other dangers to babies, according
to the CPSC.
The agency said that the cribs’ plastic hardware can break
or deform or the side of the crib that drops down can be
installed upside-down, creating a space between the side and the
mattress where infants can be entrapped, the agency said.
