IMPORANT: Drop-Side Crib Recalls

There has been a recent rise in consumer product recalls for drop-side cribs this past week, with the following North American brands being recalled by Health Canada:

• Drop-side Cribs by Million Dollar Baby

• Drop-side Cribs by Simmons Juvenile Products

• "Scandi" model Drop-side Cribs made by LaJobi Inc. 

• Drop-Side Crib by Dorel Distribution Canada  

• Drop-side Cribs by Delta Enterprise Corp.  

For the most part, the cribs' drop-side hardware can break or become damaged, causing the drop-side to detach. If the drop-side detaches, it could create a space between the side of the crib and the mattress. Infants and toddlers could roll into this space and may become entrapped, which could lead to suffocation or strangulation, or they could fall out of the cribs.
