A massive recall on Stork Craft baby cribs has been issued in the U.S. and Canada. More than one million of the cribs — made in Canada, China and Indonesia by Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc. of British Columbia, Canada — were recalled because the metal mattress-support brackets can crack and break.
This could cause the mattress to collapse and create a gap where a child could get trapped or suffocate.
About 535,000 Stork Craft baby cribs were recalled in the U.S. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is aware of 10 incidents of support brackets that broke.
In one incident, a child was trapped between the mattress and the side rail with no injuries.
The cribs were sold at J.C. Penney, Kmart, Wal-Mart and other stores around the country.
They were also sold online at amazon.com, babiesrus.com, costco.com and walmart.com. They were available between May 2000 through January 2009.
Consumers who have this crib are urged to discontinue its use immediately. A free kit with redesigned support brackets is available from Stork Craft by calling 866-361-3321.
