The Consumer Safety Commission just announced a recall of  Generation 2 Worldwide and “ChildESIGNS” Drop Side Cribs. Infants and toddlers are at risk of serious injury or death due to strangulation and suffocation hazards. If you own a drop side crib, check immediately to be sure it is not one of these brands.

 

There have been 3 infant deaths reported. The children were trapped between the crib mattress and the drop side when the drop side detached.

 

The name “Generation 2 Worldwide” appears on a label affixed to the crib’s headboard or footboard.  The name “ChildESIGNS” appears on the teething rail of some of the cribs.

 

Consumers should contact the store from which they purchased the crib for remedy information, which will vary between a refund, replacement crib or store credit, depending on the retailer.
