Recalled Cribs – Stork Craft Crib Recalls

November 24, 2009 By E. Sizemore 12 Comments

drop side crib recallMore than two-million cribs are being recalled by Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc., of British Columbia, Canada. The crib recall is in response to entrapment and suffocation hazards, which have resulted in numerous infant deaths in the United States and Canada.

The crib recall involves Stork Craft drop-side cribs, including about 147,000 Stork Craft drop-side cribs with a Fisher-Price logo. The drop-side plastic hardware on these recalled cribs can break or deform, or parts can be lost. In addition, the drop-side can be installed upside-down, which could result in broken plastic parts.

All of these problems can cause the drop-side to detach in one or more corners. When the drop-side detaches, it creates space between the drop-side and the crib mattress, where infants and toddlers can become entrapped.

CPSC, Health Canada, and Stork Craft are aware of 110 incidents of drop-side detachment; 67 incidents occurred in the United States and 43 in Canada. The incidents include 15 entrapments; 12 in the U.S. and three in Canada. Four of the entrapments resulted in suffocation: a 7-month-old in Gouverneur, N.Y.; a 7-month-old in New Iberia, La.; a 6-month-old in Summersville, W.Va.; and a 9-month-old in Bronx, N.Y. Included in these incidents are 20 falls from cribs; 12 in the U.S. and eight in Canada. Fall injuries ranged from concussion to bumps and bruises. The cribs involved in these incidents had plastic drop-side hardware that had broken, missing, or deformed claws, connectors, tracks, or flexible tab stops; loose or missing metal spring clips; stripped screws; and/or drop-sides installed upside-down.

Crib Recall ImageThese recalled cribs were sold at major stores across the United States, including but not limited to J.C. Penny, Kmart, Meijer, Sears and Wal-Mart, as well as online at ecommerce stores like Amazon.com, Costco.com and Target.com.

The recalled cribs were sold between January 1993 and October 2009 and cost between $100 and $400 depending on store and model.

Recalled CribsFor additional information, contact Stork Craft toll-free at (877) 274-0277 anytime to order the free repair kit, or log on to www.storkcraft.com.

Remember that these cribs will probably continue to be sold second-hand for many years to come. Always check for recalls when you buy cribs (or any product) from thrift stores, garage sales, flea markets and other second-hand sources.

    Just went to my friends house. Visited and told her about stork craft cribs being recalled. Flipped the mattress and found out that this model was recalled not to mention…. The upper plastic on the stable side of drop side crib was busted. he older son who used it broke it and fell out of the crib. SO DANGEROUS. Now she has a new born in it. Lucky I caught it before the new baby suffocated between the mattress and the bars. Tried phoning the company on her behalf because she has no phone, no TV, nothing. She would have never known the crib was recalled. NOW… TRYING TO GET THROUGH TO THIS COMPANY… ITs IMPOSSIBLE. Now I know there numbers aren’t accurate. Add one more to the numbers of broken plastic cribs. Garb. I don’t even want to fix it.

    I have requested the replacement parts FOUR times since the recall in November and have not received them. My 7 month old is sleeping in a bouncer or with us because we are scared to put her in the crib. My little boy used this crib for 18 months. It’s scary to think of what could have happened to him. This company needs to
    get it together!
