ADDITIONAL DELTA CRIB RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT: RELEASE #09-016

WASHINGTON, D.C. – THE U.S. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION (CPSC), IN COOPERATION WITH DELTA ENTERPRISE CORP., OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK., IS ANNOUNCING THE VOLUNTARY RECALL TO REPLACE MISSING SAFETY PEGS INVOLVING 985,000 DROP SIDE CRIBS. FAILURE TO USE OR INSTALL SAFETY PEGS CAN CAUSE AN ENTRAPMENT AND SUFFOCATION RISK TO INFANTS AND TODDLERS.

WHEN THE SAFETY PEGS IN THE BASE OF EACH LEG OF THE CRIB ARE MISSING FROM THE LOWER TRACK, THE CRIB LOCKS CAN DISENGAGE AND DETACH IF LOWERED BELOW THE PEG HOLE, CREATING A HAZARDOUS GAP. THIS GAP CAN LEAD TO THE ENTRAPMENT AND SUFFOCATION OF AN INFANT OR TODDLER.

CPSC STAFF IS AWARE OF A DEATH OF AN 8-MONTH-OLD CHILD WHO BECAME ENTRAPPED AND SUFFOCATED WHEN THE DROP SIDE OF THE CRIB DETACHED IN A REASSEMBLED CRIB WHERE THE SAFETY PEGS WERE NOT INSTALLED. CPSC IS ALSO AWARE OF TWO ENTRAPMENTS AND NINE DISENGAGEMENT INCIDENTS IN CRIBS WHERE THE SAFETY PEGS WERE MISSING.

THE RECALL INVOLVES ALL DELTA CRIBS MANUFACTURED IN TAIWAN OR INDONESIA, WITH THE “CRIB TRIGGER LOCK WITH SAFETY PEG” DROP SIDE HARDWARE DESIGN. THESE MODEL NUMBERS AND COUNTRY OF ORIGIN CAN BE LOCATED ON THE MATTRESS SUPPORT BOARD LABEL: 4320, 4340, 4500, 4520, 4530, 4532, 4540, 4542, 4550, 4551, 4580, 4600, 4620, 4624 (PRODUCTION DATES 01/06 THRU 11/07), 4640, 4660, 4720, 4735, 4742, 4750 (PRODUCTION DATES 01/95 THRU 12/00), 4760, 4770, 4780, 4790, 4820, 4840, 4850, 4860, 4880, 4890, 4892, 4900, 4910, 4920, 4925-2, 4925-6, 4930, 4940, 4943, 4944, 4947, 4948, 4949, 4950, 4958, 4963, 4968, 4969, 4980.

THE RECALLED CRIBS HAVE DATE CODES RANGING FROM 1995 THROUGH DECEMBER 2005 AND ONE MODEL (4624) WAS MADE IN 2007. THE MODEL NUMBERS ARE LOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE MATTRESS SUPPORT BOARD.

THE CRIBS, WHICH WERE MADE IN TAIWAN AND INDONESIA, WERE SOLD AT MAJOR RETAILERS, INCLUDING WALMART, KMART AND TARGET.COM FROM JANUARY 1995 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2007 FOR ABOUT $100. THESE CRIBS HAVE ALSO BEEN FOUND TO BE SOLD SECONDHAND. CRIBS CURRENTLY SOLD AT RETAIL ARE NOT INVOLVED.

CPSC AND DELTA URGE PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS TO IMMEDIATELY STOP USING CRIBS THAT ARE MISSING A SAFETY PEG ON ANY LEG OF THE CRIB AND CONTACT DELTA TO RECEIVE A FREE, EASY-TO-INSTALL REPAIR KIT. THE KIT WILL INCLUDE SAFETY PEGS IN A BOLD COLOR AND WARNING LABELS TO BE AFFIXED TO THE MATTRESS BOARD. CONSUMERS WITH CRIBS THAT HAVE ALL SAFETY PEGS INSTALLED MAY CONTINUE TO USE THE CRIBS; HOWEVER, CPSC RECOMMENDS THAT THESE CONSUMERS CONTACT DELTA FOR THE REPAIR KIT FOR FUTURE ASSEMBLY PURPOSES. CALL DELTA TOLL-FREE AT (1-800-816-5304) ANYTIME AFTER 5PM TODAY OR LOG ON WWW.CRIBRECALLCENTER.COM TO ORDER THE FREE REPLACEMENT KIT.

PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO FIND A SAFE, ALTERNATIVE SLEEP ENVIRONMENT FOR THEIR CHILD IF THEIR RECALLED CRIB IS MISSING SAFETY PEGS.

CPSC WOULD LIKE TO REMIND PARENTS NOT TO USE ANY CRIB WITH MISSING, BROKEN, OR LOOSE PARTS. MAKE SURE TO TIGHTEN HARDWARE FROM TIME TO TIME TO KEEP THE CRIB STURDY. WHEN USING A DROP SIDE CRIB PARENTS SHOULD CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE DROP SIDE OR ANY OTHER MOVING PART OPERATES SMOOTHLY. ALWAYS CHECK ALL SIDES AND CORNERS OF THE CRIB FOR DISENGAGEMENT. ANY DISENGAGEMENT CAN CREATE A GAP AND ENTRAP A CHILD. IN ADDITION, DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR ANY SIDE OF THE CRIB, ESPECIALLY WITH TAPE, WIRE OR ROPE.
