Description
This recall includes all Generation 2 Worldwide and "ChildESIGNS" full-size and portable drop side cribs. The name "Generation 2 Worldwide" appears on a label affixed to the crib's headboard or footboard. Some labels identify the place of manufacture as Dothan, Ala. Others identify China as the country of manufacture. The name "ChildESIGNS" appears on the teething rail of some of the cribs.
Hazard
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.
Remedy
CPSC staff urges parents and caregivers to stop using these cribs immediately and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. Do not attempt to fix these cribs.
Incidents and injuries
In July 2007, an-eight-month-old child from Newark, Ohio suffocated when he became entrapped between the drop side and the crib mattress. In October 2003, an eight-month-old child from Richmond, Ind. suffocated when he became entrapped between the drop side and the crib mattress. In September 2002, a six-month-old from Staunton, Va. suffocated when he became entrapped between the drop side and crib mattress.
