2.1 million drop-side cribs are recalled - More than 2.1 million drop-side cribs by Stork Craft Manufacturing are being recalled, the biggest crib recall in U.S. history, after reports of four infant suffocations. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the recall involves 1.2 million cribs in the United States and almost 1 million in Canada, where Stork Craft is based. Sales of the cribs being recalled go back to 1993. Nearly 150,000 of the cribs carry the Fisher-Price logo. The commission is urging parents to stop using the cribs until getting a free repair kit -- available at 1-877-274-0277 or www.cpsc.gov. More
