According to a press release by The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Dorel Asia SRL, of Barbados, is recalling more than 15 different models of cribs they manufacture. The drop side, as well as the stationary side cribs, pose a risk of suffocation or strangulation. One death has been reported as well as at least 10 injuries. Consumers are urged to discontinue the use of these products immediately. The cribs were manufatured in China and Vietnam but sold at stores across the U.S. including K-Mart, Sears and Wal-Mart from January 2005 through December 2009. The cribs vary in price from $120 to $700. For an extensive list of the model names and numbers go to the CPSC website.
