WARNING: Generation 2 Worldwide "SafetyCraft" Brand Drop-Side Cribs Pose Risks of Strangulation, Suffocation Hardware Linked to Deaths and Injuries
Recalled February 3, 2011 · CPSC recall 11119 · WARNING
Hazard
The crib's plastic drop-side hardware can break, causing the drop side of the crib to detach from a corner of the crib. When the drop side detaches, it creates a space into which a child can roll and become wedged or entrapped. When a child is entrapped between the drop side and the crib mattress, there is a risk of suffocation or strangulation. In addition, the mattress support can detach from the crib frame, creating a space in which a child can become entrapped and suffocate or strangle.
Remedy
CPSC staff urges parents and caregivers to stop using these cribs immediately and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. Do not attempt to fix these cribs.
Incidents / injuries
CPSC received reports of three infant suffocation deaths and 20 drop side related incidents involving previously recalled models of Generation 2 Worldwide and ChildESIGNS cribs with plastic hardware similar to "SafetyCraft" cribs.
