Yet Another Crib Recall


Bed should be the safest place for baby. We all strive to make that "environment" as safe as possible - a fitted sheet over the mattress and the baby on top placed on his back of course. No bumper pads, no blankets, no quilts or toys or pillows.

But what about the crib itself? Parents certainly need to inspect the crib periodically for loose screws, sharp stuff or gaps AND keep up with the recall status of their particular brand. The Consumer Products Safety Commission has just added 500,00 Stork Craft cribs to its list of possible entrapment and/or suffocation dangers to infants.

Check the website for all the particulars. The defect is something that can be remedied but you must request the part.

Did you know if you click on the title of this post you will go immediately to the cpsc page you need? I love the internet! What did we ever do without it?
