Generaton 2 Worldwide “SafetyCraft” Brand Drop-Side Cribs
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers that “SafetyCraft” brand full-size and portable drop-side cribs manufactured or distributed by Generation 2 Worldwide of Dothan, Alabama, contain drop-side hardware that appears to be identical to Generation 2 Worldwide ChildESIGNS brand drop-side cribs recalled in February 2010. This hardware found on SafetyCraft drop-side cribs can fail and place infants and toddlers at risk of strangulation and suffocation. CPSC staff urges parents and caregivers to stop using these cribs immediately and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. Do no attempt to fix these cribs. Because Generation 2 Worldwide ceased operations, CPSC has limited information about these cribs and where they were sold. CPSC has been unable to identify major retailers that sold these cribs. The name “SafetyCraft” appears on a label affixed to the crib’s headboard or footboard. Product labels may identify the place of manufacture as Indonesia or Dothan, Alabama.
