USDorel Asia Recalls To Replace Cribs; Pose Strangulation and Suffocation Hazards: One infant death reported, 10 injuries to infants
Reason for Recall / Hazard
The drop side hardware can fail causing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop side detaches it creates a space in which an infant or toddler can become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. In addition, the recalled cribs can pose a serious entrapment and strangulation hazard when a slat is damaged. This can occur while the crib is in use, in storage, being put together, taken apart or reassembled; or during shipping and handling.
