Crib Recall: CPSC To Announce Largest Crib Recall In History

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is expected to announce one of the largest crib recalls in history tomorrow, specifically citing the potential danger of cribs with dropdown sides.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) will announce one of the biggest crib recalls in US history tomorrow, according to CBS sources. The cribs in question have dropdown sides, which can injure babies. The CBS Early Show reports:

The CPSC says it has no doubt that dangerous and recalled cribs are being used in homes right now in America. …

CBS “Early Show” Consumer Correspondent Susan Koeppen advises that parents who have a crib in their home that has dropdown sides check to see whether it’s already been recalled. The CPSC suggests checking the hardware to see if it seems solid. Feel the side rail: If you can move it back and forth, that can be dangerous. And stop using the side rail: Don’t put it up and down anymore.

Full details and recalled models will be available tomorrow.
