To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by CPSC. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 16 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.

"Child Craft" appears on a label on the crib's frame and identifies the place of manufacture as Salem, Indiana or New Salisbury, Indiana. Cribs: DROP-SIDE CRIBS WITH THE PICTURED HARDWARE MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2000 and 2009. Model Numbers: F10151 F10171 F10181 F10281 F13311 F13761 F16001 F16011 F16131 F16661 F17001 F17701 F17731 F17801 F17811 F20161 F20181 F20191 F21041 F21081 F21091 F26131 F27301 F27771 F31061 F31701 F32901 F33301 F33601 F33801 F33901 F34101 F35101
Reason for Recall
The drop-side hardware can fail, causing the drop-side to detach from the crib or fall to the dropped position. When the drop side detaches, even partially, it creates a space in which an infant or toddler can become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. Drop side incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and with age related wear and tear. Additionally, when drop-side hardware fails and/or disengages, an infant or toddler can be injured by falling out of the crib.
Remedy
Child Craft ceased operations in July 2009 and a remedy is no longer available. CPSC staff urges parents and caregivers to stop using these cribs immediately and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. Destroy and discard these cribs. Do not attempt to fix these cribs.
