Did You Know? Crib Recall | Port Orange Child Injury Lawyer

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Dream on Me, Inc. of Piscataway, N.J., is voluntarily recalling about 22,000 full-size and portable drop-side cribs. The drop-side rail hardware can break or fail, allowing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop-side rail partially detaches, it creates a space between the drop side and the crib mattress. An infant or toddler's body can become entrapped in the space, which can lead to strangulation and/or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. In addition, the portable crib mattress support hardware and the drop-side release latch can break easily, and the slats can loosen or break and detach from the crib. Children can also cut themselves on exposed hardware inside the cribs.
