WASHINGTON - More than 2 million cribs are being recalled
from seven companies amid concerns that babies can suffocate,
become trapped or fall from the cribs.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says most of the cribs
are drop-sides, which have a side rail that moves up and down so
parents can lift children from them more easily. That movable side
can malfunction or detach from the crib and create a dangerous gap
where babies' heads can become trapped.
The companies involved in the recall are Evenflo, Delta
Enterprises Corp., Child Craft, Jardine Enterprises, LaJobi,
Million Dollar Baby and Simmons Juvenile Products Inc.
There are reports of at least 16 infants becoming trapped in the
cribs.
