Child Craft Drop-Side Cribs Recalled Due to Entrapment, Suffocation and Fall Hazards

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Recalled product: Child Craft Drop-Side Cribs Recalled Due to Entrapment, Suffocation and Fall Hazards

The hazard

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.

What to do

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.
