Delta Enterprise safety peg drop side crib recall
Second Infant Death Prompted Re-Announcement of Delta Enterprise ''Safety Peg'' Drop-Side Crib Recall to Repair Missing Safety Pegs Which May Create The Risk of Entrapment and Suffocation.
Missing safety pegs can create a situation where the crib's drop-side rail disengages from the track. This can create a hazardous space in which an infant can become entrapped and suffocate.
At the time of the October 2008 recall, CPSC notified consumers about the death of an 8-month-old girl who became entrapped and suffocated when the drop side of the crib detached. The crib involved in this incident also was re-assembled without safety pegs. At the time of the October 2008 recall announcement, there were reports of two entrapments and nine detachments in cribs without safety pegs.
''Buying or accepting cribs second hand can be risky,'' said CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum. ''Second hand cribs may not come with all of the necessary parts that are needed to make sure your baby is safe. We urge parents and caregivers to use caution and to be aware that new rules established by CPSC will bring safer cribs to the market this summer.''
This re-announcement involves cribs that were made in Taiwan and Indonesia. The cribs were sold at major retail stores including Kmart, Target and Walmart between January 1995 and December 2005 (through September 2007 for model 4624) for about $100.
