Crib Recalls

When a parent purchases a product for their child, they expect a certain level of assurance that the product is safe for use. Every parent wants to protect his or her child from harm. For that reason, many parents, when purchasing a product for their child, conduct outside research to ensure that the product is not dangerous. Yet even some of the most trusted brands of child products may prove to be hazardous.

Each year, millions of products intended for the use of children/infants are sold to a consumer and are later recalled. Unfortunately, by the time a company decides or is forced to recall a dangerous or defective product, someone has likely already been injured or killed as a result.

Why Do Companies Issue Crib Recalls?

When a company sells a product to the public and it is later determined that the product is defective or unsafe, the product should be recalled. The company may decide to voluntarily recall the hazardous product or a company may be forced to recall a hazardous product by a government agency – such as the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

While children may be injured by many products intended for their use, such as toys, high chairs, bottles, strollers, etc., one product that has caused an especially large number of child injuries/death is cribs. Since 2000, at least 32 deaths have been caused by drop side cribs.

Drop Side Cribs Deemed Unsafe by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

In December of 2010, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission declared a ban on the sale of drop side cribs in the United States due to the growing number of injuries and deaths caused by the product. As a result of the ban and increasing pressure from advocacy groups, numerous manufacturers announced a recall of millions of drop side cribs. Recently, the following companies have announced a crib recall:

• Jenny Lind Drop-Side Crib – Distributed by Evenflo, Inc.
• Delta Drop Side Cribs
• Bonavita (Baby Italia and ISSI Cribs) – Manufactured by LaJobbi, Inc.
• Jardine Drop Side Cribs – Imported by Toys R’ Us
• Million Dollar Baby Cribs
• Child Craft Brand Stationary-Side Cribs

The entire current crib recall list is available on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website.

Crib Recall Lawsuits

Cribs can cause an array of injuries or may even take the life of a child. If a child is injured or killed by a defective baby/child product, the manufacturer of that product can be held liable for harm caused by the defect. In addition, the manufacturer can be held liable for failing to warn the consumer of the danger of the product under certain circumstances.

Crib Recall lawsuits involve complex legal questions relating to products liability. If your child has been harmed by a crib, it is often in your best interests to hire an experienced products liability attorney to handle your case.
