Generation 2 Worldwide and "ChildESIGNS" Drop Side Crib Brands Recalled; Three I...
Reason for Recall / 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.
