Plain-English summary
Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc. is recalling approximately 535,000 baby cribs, including 92,000 units sold with the Fisher-Price logo. The recall covers Stork Craft Baby cribs manufactured and distributed between May 2000 and November 2008, as well as Fisher-Price logo cribs distributed between May 2000 and December 2004. The cribs were sold in various styles and finishes at major retailers including J.C. Penney, Kmart, and Walmart, as well as online retailers like Amazon.com and Costco.com, for prices between $100 and $400.
The recall is issued because the metal support brackets used to hold the crib mattress and mattress board can crack and break. When these brackets fail, the mattress can collapse, creating a dangerous gap between the mattress and the crib rails. This gap poses a risk of entrapment and suffocation for infants and toddlers. CPSC is aware of 10 incidents where support brackets broke; in one reported case, a toddler sustained bruises to the forehead, and in another, a child became entrapped in the gap without injury.
Parents and caregivers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and find a safe alternative sleeping environment for their baby. Consumers can contact Stork Craft toll-free at (866) 361-3321 or visit www.storkcraft.com to order a free replacement kit containing new mattress support brackets.
