Crib Infant
Crib Safety Tips and Recent Dangerous Recalls
Following the recall of more than a million of Delta Enterprise Inc.'s cribs, parents have been stricken with panic and worry about the safety of their infants.
The recall is expected to affect millions of families and included a recall of 1.6 million potentially faulty cribs, according to a Chicago Tribune special investigation. While the 1.6 million cribs are not on the market any longer, many cribs are resold or passed down through families, according to the Chicago Tribune. The faulty cribs were produced from 1995 to 2007 from Delta, which has been deemed the largest distributor of cribs worldwide.
Although the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Delta noted that the recall stemmed from the deaths of two infants who were asphyxiated following the malfunction of the drop side of the crib, on a closer investigation by the Chicago Tribune, the company had an alleged lengthy history of crib malfunctions.
Crib Safety Tips
The dangers associated with faulty cribs can be avoided or reduced, according to the CPSC, by abiding by the following list of crib safety tips:
* Place infants on their backs and ensure that the crib is fitted with a tight-fitting mattress.
* Pillows, comforters, sheepskins, bumper pads, blankets and toys should not be placed within the crib.
* Consider replacing blankets with sleepers.
* Place a tucked in blanket as well as baby?s feet at foot of bed and do not place blanket higher than infant?s chest.
* A fitted sheet designed for a crib mattress should be the only one used.
The American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) have also developed a set of standards to ensure safety among infants. The AAP developed the following list to assist parents in choosing the safest crib for their child.
* A Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) certification should be provided with the crib.
* Slats should not be widely spaced, no more than 2 and 3/8 inches.
* Ensure that wooden cribs do not contain splinters and that all joints fit precisely together.
* Crib surfaces should contain lead-free paint and surfaces should be smooth with no cracks or peeling paint.
* Avoid decorative cutouts on the end panels.
* Corner posts should either be very tall or flush with the end panels.
* Cribs that have been lowered should reach at least 9 inches about the mattress support while cribs raised all the way should be a minimum of 26 inches above the mattress support.
* The mattress should be the same size as a crib in order to avoid trapped limbs or body parts.
* There should be a hand-operated, locking drop side that does not unintentionally release.
Dangerous Cribs
Individuals who have been a victim of a dangerous crib recall or crib defect are encouraged to locate a personal injury attorney in order to receive a free legal consultation on the potential development of a crib recall lawsuit. Because of the severity of dangers and damage that can occur, it may be necessary to develop a crib recall lawsuit in order to obtain the monetary means to pay for damages incurred by a victim and their family.
