DropSide Cribs Caused Death of 32 Kids

The U.S. Government issued a warning on drop-side cribs last week, saying that such baby essentials have caused the death of at least 32 kids through suffocation and strangulation, over the past nine years.

To add to that alarming news, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) also said that during the same period, deaths of 14 other children were also linked to the use of drop side cribs. However, these cases have no conclusive results yet.

As a result, 170,000 drop-side cribs from known brands such as Sorelle, Golden Baby, and C&T International were recalled. This recall was made apart from the previous recall of Simplicity and Graco Cribs two weeks ago.

CPSC reports revealed that over the past five years, there were a total of 11 recalls of thousands and thousands of drop-side cribs. The agency said that such precautions were made due to complaints noting that the ‘drop-sides’ of such cribs were easy to bend, detach, deform, or break.

Infodose thoughts: Our babies depend on us for safety and protection. That is why we have to avoid everything that will put them at risk of being harmed. Parents should opt for cribs with four fixed-sides, as they are more stable and safe.

Repetitive Laughter and Exercise have the Same Effects on the Body

Repetitive laughter and exercise have the same effects on our body - this was the conclusion reaped from the study conducted by researchers at the Schools of Allied Health and Medicine of the Loma Linda University. Researchers found out that like moderate exercise, repetitive laughing also lowers one’s stress hormones, boosts the immune system, lowers blood pressure, brings down your cholesterol level, and promotes positive mood. This study was based on tests wherein changes in blood pressure, hormone levels, and endorphins were monitored before and after participants of the study were exposed to humorous and upsetting videos. It will be presented in this year’s Experimental Biology Conference.
