Defective Crib Recall

• Place baby on his/her back in a crib with a firm, tight-fitting mattress.
  
  
• Do not put pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, pillow-like bumper pads or pillow-like stuffed toys in the crib.
  
  
• Consider using a sleeper instead of a blanket.
  
  
• If you do use a blanket, place baby with feet to foot of the crib. Tuck a thin blanket around the crib mattress, covering baby only as high as his/her chest.
  
• Use only a fitted bottom sheet specifically made for crib use.
  

• A firm, tight-fitting mattress so a baby cannot get trapped between the mattress and the crib.
  
  
• Cribs that are assembled wrong, have missing, loose or broken hardware or broken slats can result in entrapment or suffocation deaths.
  
• • Infants can strangle when their head and neck become entrapped in gaps created by missing, loose or broken hardware or broken slats.
    
    
• No missing, loose, broken or improperly installed screws, brackets or other hardware on the crib or mattress support.
  
  
• No more than 2 3/8 inches (about the width of a soda can) between crib slats so a baby's body cannot fit through the slats; no missing or cracked slats.
  
  
• No corner posts over 1/16th inch high so a baby's clothing cannot catch.
  
  
• No cutouts in the headboard or foot board so a baby's head cannot get trapped.
  

• Mesh less than 1/4 inch in size, smaller than the tiny buttons on a baby's clothing.
  
  
• Mesh with no tears, holes or loose threads that could entangle a baby.
  
  
• Mesh securely attached to top rail and floor plate.
  
  
• Top rail cover with no tears or holes.
  
  
• If staples are used, they are not missing, loose or exposed.
