WARNING: Generation 2 Worldwide "SafetyCraft" Brand Drop-Side Cribs Pose Risks of Strangulation, Suffocation Hardware Linked to Deaths and Injuries
Hazard: The crib's plastic drop-side hardware can break, causing the drop side of the crib to detach from a corner of the crib. When the drop side detaches, it creates a space into which a child can roll and become wedged or entrapped. When a child is entrapped between the drop side and the crib mattress, there is a risk of suffocation or strangulation. In addition, the mattress support can detach from the crib frame, creating a space in which a child can become entrapped and suffocate or strangle.
