Graco Strollers & Dorel-Asia Cribs Recalled
I jut got word that over 630,000 cribs are being recalled by Dorel-Asia. Apparantly 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 beonlinee entrapped and suffocate or strangle.
The cribs that are part of this recall were sold at K-Mart, Walmart and Sears stores nationwide from January 2005 to December 2009. You can go on over here to see the Press Release and the model numbers and pictures of the cribs included in this recall.
If your crib is in fact part of the recall, then you should immediately stop using the crib, find an alternative safe sleeping environment for your child, and contact Dorel Asia to receive a free replacement kit. Consumers should log on to www.dorel-asia.online or call the Dorel Asia toll-free at (866) 762-2304 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to order the free replacement kit to prevent child entrapment in these cribs. The repair kits will be provided to owners within the next several weeks.
NEW UPDATE: There is also a huge recall on Graco Strollers! You can check out the Press Release here.
