Bexco to Repair Million Dollar Baby, Baby Mod and Da Vinci Brand Drop-Side Cribs
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The cribs' drop sides can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, causing part of the drop side to fall out of position, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped, which can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. Drop-side incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and with age-related wear and tear.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Suffocation risk.
