PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL ON GRACO BABY CRIBS

May 5, 2010, by Jeffrey J. Kroll

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently recalled a line of wooden baby cribs for safety reasons. The recalled cribs are Graco brand and are manufactured by LaJobi, Inc. The recalled cribs have a drop side, which can move or detach to allow access to the child. The reported hazard is that the hardware for the drop side can break or fail, creating a hazardous gap between the side of the crib and the mattress in which infants and toddlers can become wedged or entrapped. Potential injuries that may result are suffocation, strangulation or the child falling from the crib. There have been 99 reported incidents involving children being injured by these defective cribs. Injury or death caused by a defective product may lead to a product liability lawsuit. If your child has been injured by a defective crib, Jeffrey J. Kroll may be able to help.
