Ultimate Crib Sheet

ladyyoung

Just want to let you know about a very scary experience I had this morning.  If you use the Ultimate Crib Sheet, I urge you to stop.  Especially if the one you have has plastic snaps.  I have emailed the company who makes it (Basic Comfort) to let them know about the issue and to request a recall.  Here's what happened:

 

I placed one of these products on my registry at Babies R Us when I was pregnant.  Someone purchased it for me and I began using it when I transitioned my son to his crib (about 6 months ago).  I liked the convenience it offered so much that I went out and bought a second one (again from Babies R Us).  When I opened the package I noticed the snaps were different - plastic instead of metal.  I didn't think much of it and used it for several months in conjunction with my other one. 

 

I just went to get my son up from a nap and noticed he had unsnapped one of the corners.  When I went to snap it back into place, I noticed one end of one of the snaps (the "receiving" end) had come off completely.  I found the smooth part of the snap on the floor but still cannot find the other part (I've attached pictures to illustrate this).  I immediately took the sheet off the crib mattress and plan to never use that sheet (or the other one I own) again. 

 

I cannot explain how upset this incident has made me.  I hope to find the rough end of the snap somewhere in his nursery.  If he swallowed it, I thank God he did not choke on it.  The possibilty is unthinkable and I can only hope no other children are affected.  I don't understand how this defect did not become apparent in product testing and how a product with a serious defect like this wound up on the market. 

 

Please forward this info to all friends with babies/small children.  I would hate to hear of a choking incident related to this faulty product.

How scary!  I'm glad your DS is OK.  Let us know what the company says ... I'm always interested to hear if companies are accommodating when there are faulty products.

lol let me start by saying yours was no WAY on the same level. ?But the Irish Twins made me think of the "pulling out" post. ?Only because we had fun replying. ?Not because I thought you were dumb or it was a dumb question. ?(not in the least)?
