Is Your Crib Safe? - Crib Recalls

Since the first of the year, the Consumer Products Safety Commission has recalled at least 13 different cribs or bassinets—many of which have resulted in serious injury and deaths.

Children are left unattended for long periods of time in cribs and bassinets, by intent, design, practice and custom. You want to be especially vigilant with these products; they deserve your special attention and need to be completely safe.

If you have a crib or bassinet that has been recalled, you should

  • Stop using the crib or bassinet immediately

  • Follow recall instructions
