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.
