Delta Drop Side Cribs

 

Delta Enterprise Corp. has recalled nearly 1.6 million drop side cribs after two babies suffocated when the drop side detached. The recall includes cribs with two different kinds of broken hardware, including 985,000 "Crib Trigger Lock with Safety Peg" drop side hardware, and 600,000 "Crib Trigger Lock with Spring Peg" drop side hardware.

Although neither of these cribs are currently sold at stores, you should check cribs you already own to make sure they're not included.
