CPSC recalls Generation 2 Worldwide and ChildESIGNS drop side cribs after reports of infant deaths due to crib drop side detachment creating suffocation risks.
The crib's plastic hardware can break, which can cause the drop side of the crib to detach from a corner of the crib. When detached, the drop side creates a space, into which a child can roll and become entrapped. Entrapment between the drop side and the crib mattress creates a risk of suffocation or strangulation. In addition, the crib's mattress support can detach from the crib frame, creating a hazardous space in which a child could become entrapped and suffocate or strangle.
All Generation 2 Worldwide and ChildESIGNS drop side cribs are recalled because their plastic hardware can break, causing the drop side to detach. This creates a space where children can become entrapped, risking suffocation or strangulation. The recall follows three reported infant deaths.
