6.24.10 Seven Manufacturers Announce Voluntary Recalls of More Then 2 Million Cribs

 

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), with the cooperation Child Craft, Delta Enterprise Corp., Evenflo, Jardine Enterprises, LaJobi, Million Dollar Baby, and Simmons Juvenile Products Inc. (SJP) announce a voluntary recalls of more than two million cribs to address drop-side hazards and other hazards that affect the safety of young children.

The drop-side and fixed-side crib recalls announced today are of units manufactured between 2000 and 2009. Consumers should contact the firm directly for the appropriate remedy. For more information including a full list of cribs affected by the recall and contact information, click here.

Important Message from CPSC:

The safest place for your baby to sleep is in a crib or bassinet depending on their age. If your crib has been recalled or it has missing, broken or loose parts, find an alternate safe sleep environment intended for a baby. If your baby is less than six months old and is not yet able to push up to his/her hands and knees, you can put your baby to sleep in a bassinet. Make sure your bassinet has not been recalled. Here’s a list. Also, you can use a play yard.

Do not put additional bedding such as pillows, thick quilts, comforters or anything plush into your baby’s sleeping space. More babies die every year from suffocation in plush sleeping environments than from defective cribs. Always place your baby on his or her back to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

After a series of crib recalls earlier this year from Graco®-Branded Drop Side Cribs Made by LaJobi, Simplicity Cribs, and C&T International/Sorelle we reported in our Crib Notes blog that crib makers are proposing a ban on drop-side cribs because of concerns over infant deaths, injuries and a series of recent recalls.

 6.2.10 Ring Slings Made by Sprout Recalled Due to Suffocation Risk

 

 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Sprout Stuff, of Austin, Texas, is announcing the recall of about 40 Sprout Stuff infant ring slings. CPSC advises consumers to immediately stop using these slings due to a risk of suffocation to infants. CPSC and Sprout Stuff are aware of one report of a death of a 10-day-old boy in the recalled sling in Round Rock, Texas in 2007.

Sprout Stuff sold the recalled infant slings, which were made in the United States, directly to consumers between October 2006 and May 2007 for between $35 and $45. Sprout Stuff is directly contacting known purchasers of the recalled infant slings.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled slings and contact Sprout Stuff to return the sling for a full refund.

On March 12, 2010, CPSC issued a warning about sling carriers for babies. Read more about this warning and the proper way to use a sling in our Crib Notes blog.

5.6.10 C&T International/Sorelle Recalls Cribs Due to Strangulation and Suffocation Hazards

 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with C&T International/Sorelle have issued a voluntary recall of about 170,000 drop-side cribs. The cribs’ drop-side hardware can disengage from the tracks, causing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop-side partially detaches, it creates space between the drop side and the crib mattress. The bodies of infants and toddlers can become entrapped in the space, which can lead to strangulation and/or suffocation.

The recall involves C&T International, Sorelle and Golden Baby wood cribs. Before 2003, the company also distributed under the name Golden Baby Inc. The cribs were sold at children’s product stores and other retailers nationwide from January 2000 through March 2010 for between $300 and $600. Above photos a few of the cribs effected in the C&T International/Sorelle recall. For a full list of recalled cribs with photos visit the cpsc.gov.

The CPSC urges parents and caregivers to immediately stop using the recalled cribs and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. Consumers should contact C&T/Sorelle to receive a free replacement kit. For additional information, contact C&T/Sorelle toll-free at (877)791-9398 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm’s website at www.candtinternational.net.
