WARNING: Generation 2 Worldwide "SafetyCraft" Brand Drop-Side Cribs Pose Risks of Strangulation, Suffocation Hardware Linked to Deaths and Injuries

Reported: February 3, 2011 Initiated: February 3, 2011 #11119

Product Description

This warning involves all SafetyCraft drop-side cribs, including model 92-8112, manufactured and/or sold by Generation 2Worldwide. Some of the cribs have a clear plastic headboard and footboard. The name "SafetyCraft" appears on a label affixed to the crib's headboard or footboard.

Reason for Recall

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.
