Re-activateAfter the death of two 8-month-old babies in separate incidents, Delta has recalled almost 1.6 million cribs with drop sides because of two different defects that can cause a baby to become entrapped between the mattress and the drop side. The cribs were sold from 1995 to 2007. The two recalls do not involve Delta cribs made this year but the Consumer Product Safety Commission cautions that the cribs may be on the secondhand market. (See the CPSC's notices about the 985,000 recalled Delta cribs and 600,000 recalled Delta cribs.)
Taken together, this is the largest crib recall in history supplanting the massive Simplicity crib recall of one million units in September 2007 for similar failures of drop side hardware.
Read the rest of this post on our Safety blog, and learn more about crib safety in our crib Ratings report. (Note that these recent recalls have raised concerns about the safety of cribs with drop sides. We recommend that you look first for a crib with stationary sides until more stringent and comprehensive safety standards are developed. CR's tests--including those in our latest Ratings report--do not address the durability issues associated with recent recalls that could impact safety.)
