The problem, in CPSC's words
The cribs' drop sides can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, causing part of the drop side to fall out of position, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped, which can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. Drop-side incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and with age-related wear and tear.
Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC
CPSC and Million Dollar Baby have received 43 reports of drop-side failures. There were eight reports of children being entrapped between the mattress and drop-side resulting in three reports of bruises to the head or upper body. Additionally, three children fell out of the crib when the drop-side failed but they were not injured.
What CPSC says to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Million Dollar Baby for a free repair kit that will immobilize the drop side. In the meantime, find an alternate, safe sleeping environment for the child, such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed depending on the child's age
