The US Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a massive crib recall of 2.1 million Stork Craft drop-side cribs, as well as 147,000 Stork Craft drop-side cribs with the Fisher-Price logo.
This is the largest cribs recall in the US history.
San Fransisco- Many companies in the last couple of years had to recall their toys, cribs, play yards and bassinets from the market as they had chances of choking babies or causing some serious health problems to them. However, none of the recalls were as big as the Stork Craft cribs recall, that the US Consumer Product Safety Commission issued recently and this is the highest number of cribs recalled in history. The Crib Recall List November 2009 includes 2.1 million cribs manufactured by Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc. based in British Columbia.
The Crib Recall List November 2009 not only included the cribs sold in the US market but also included the cribs that the company has sold in Canada. Recall of such a large number of cribs affected the company but they have not yet made any public statement after this recall was issued for ensuring the safety of infants. The Commission issued the cribs recall from the market after it suffocated and killed four infants. The commission recommended all parents to opt for some other sleeping arrangements for their babies and stop using these cribs.
US Consumer Product Safety Commission, Crib Recall List November 2009 declared that the cribs that Stock Craft has manufactured from January 1993 to October 2009 have chances of suffocating a baby. The list also included cribs made during October 1997 to December 2004, which have been sold with Fisher Price logo. All the details of the recalled cribs are provided by the commission so that parents and caregivers can easily identify the cribs that can cause suffocation problem to an infant.
