The CPSC has received four reports of children becoming entrapped between the dowel and the stationary front side of the crib. The two recalls include the one non-drop-side crib on the list, the “Crib ‘N Double Bed” full size stationary side convertible crib with dowel.Ībout 40,000 to 50,000 of these convertible cribs are being recalled because the stationary side can be mistakenly installed upside-down and still appear to be installed correctly. Two of the recalls were for cribs manufactured by Child Craft Industries, which went out of business in July 2009. Problems with drop side cribs have involved malfunctioning retractable pegs, metal locking pins that came loose, broken slats and other issues. However, defects in the design of several models of drop-side cribs have been blamed for the deaths of children when the parts of the crib came loose, creating a gap that can trap or suffocate the infant.
