Parents are being urged to inspect their child’s crib and tighten up the hardware.
In May 2007 an 8-month-old girl from Bryan, Texas, died because the safety pegs on her crib were not installed. The crib’s side detached, leaving a gap where she got stuck and
More than a year later, in July 2008, an 8-month-old boy in Tallahassee, Fla., suffocated after a spring-loaded safety peg failed and allowed the side of his crib to detach.
Together with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Division Delta Cribs have announced two voluntary actions produced between 1995 and 2007 that use our drop side trigger lock designs.
If these pegs are not installed, or if they fail to engage, the drop-side can detach and create a dangerous gap where babies can get stuck.
These cribs were manufactured in Taiwan and Indonesia and sold by major retailers including Wal-Mart, Kmart and Target.com, between January 1995 and September 2007
