Crib Injury, Crib Death and Crib Recalls - Needless Tragedies

Drop-Down Crib Recalls Keep Mounting

In November 2009 infant entrapment and suffocation caused Stork Craft to Recall more than 2.1 Million drop-side cribs. CPSC reported 110 incidents of drop-side detachment. The incidents include 15 entrapments. 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. In addition there were 20 falls from cribs. In these reports, fall injuries ranged from concussion to bumps and bruises.

In July 2009, the CPSC announced the recall of 400,000 dropdown cribs manufactured by Simplicity Inc. A death was attributed to the crib, when an 8-month-old child from Houston, Texas, became trapped between the dropdown side and the crib mattress when a plastic connector on the drop side broke. The child suffocated. There were an additional 25 incidents involving detachment of the drop down side.

In January 2009, there were recalls of about 535,000 Stork Craft Baby Cribs (and an additional 92,000 with the Fisher-Price logo). There were 10 incidents where one or more mattress support brackets broke. The broken bracket caused the mattress to collapse and create a gap between the crib dropdown rails and the mattress.

Shoddy Designs and Workmanship

Many of the defective cribs are manufactured in China. The parts easily break or don't fit together as intended. The defective cribs are imported and then sold in the most recognized stores and on-line retailers in America.

Crib Manufacturers Need To Be Held Responsible For Infant Injuries and Deaths

Crib manufacturers have a responsibility to manufacture and design safe products. If your infant was injured or killed due to a defective drop down crib then you should contact a product liability attorney. Your child and your family deserve justice for your child's harm.

Crib manufacturers need to be held responsible for infant injuries and deaths for two reasons. First, to compensate your child or your family for the infants death or injury. Second, holding crib manufacturers legally responsible for your child's injury or death will provide huge incentive for them to design and sell safer cribs in the future. Your child's lawsuit can help prevent future needless and tragic infant injuries and deaths.
