Generation 2 Worldwide SafetyCraft Brand Drop-Side Cribs

DATE: February 3, 2011

CATEGORY: Cribs, Beds & Furniture

COMPANY/BRAND: Generation 2 Worldwide

THE DANGER: The hardware found on the SafetyCraft drop-side cribs can fail and place infants and toddlers at risk of strangulation and suffocation. The crib's plastic drop-side hardware can break, causing the drop side of the crib to detach from a corner of the crib. When the drop side detaches, it creates a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped. When a child is entrapped or wedged between the drop side and the crib mattress, it creates a risk of suffocation or strangulation. Also, the crib's mattress support can detach from the crib frame, creating a hazardous space in which an infant or toddler can become entrapped and suffocate or strangle.

DESCRIPTION: This recall involves all SafetyCraft drop-side cribs, including model 92-8112, manufactured and/or sold by Generation 2Worldwide. Consumers can identify the Foundations SafetyCraft crib with "Foundations" printed on the mattress' support assembly instructions label under the mattress. The name "SafetyCraft" is on a label affixed to the crib's headboard or footboard. Product labels may identify the place of manufacture as Indonesia or Dothan, Alabama. Some of the cribs have a clear plastic headboard and footboard. These cribs are in use in child care facilities as well as homes.

SOLD AT: CPSC was unable to identify major retailers that sold the cribs.

WHAT TO DO: Immediately stop using the cribs and find a safe place for baby to sleep.
