On November 23, 2009, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada issued the largest recall of 2.1 million drop-side baby cribs made by Stork Craft between January 1993 and October 2009 following reports of the suffocation deaths of four children. This is the largest crib recall in U.S. history and the second Stork Craft crib recall this year.

Please read the Official U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recall notice to determine if you own a recalled crib.

Owners of Stork Craft drop-side cribs that are part of the recall should stop using the crib immediately and contact Stork Craft toll-free at (877) 274-0277 or at www.storkcraft.com to obtain a free repair kit.

Child safety advocates have been pushing to eliminate the production and use of drop-side cribs since five million drop-side cribs have been recalled in recent years due to reports of numerous children that have died from suffocation or have sustained injuries from falls or entrapment when the drop-side portion of the crib became detached. Some retailers, such as Babies ‘R Us, have announced their concern over the problems of the drop-side style crib and will no longer carry them in their stores.
