Pottery Barn Kids Drop-Side Cribs Recalled

Suffice it to say, if you have a drop-side crib, it's probably going to make it on the recall list eventually. This week, they're from Pottery Barn Kids. This company is recalling all its drop-side cribs no matter what the model number (see images of all the cribs involved at their website). This comes after receiving 36 reports malfunctioning sides that resulted in seven injuries. Stop using the crib and contact Pottery Barn Kids at 877-804-3847 to get a free kit that will immobilize the drop side.

And, if you are still using a drop-side crib that hasn't been recalled and the problems remedied, I urge you to contact your crib manufacturer and press them to issue a repair kit sooner rather than later. If you've had any of the common problems with the drop-side and haven't reported it, please get in touch with the Consumer Product Safety Commission so that they will be able to work with your crib manufacturer and get the problem fixed. It really could prevent injuries and save lives.

The Cozy Indoor Outdoor Portable Playard Tents Plus Cabana Kits from Tots in Mind are being recalled after the death of a 2-year-old boy. He was able to remove the plastic clips that secured the tent to the play yard so nylon ties were used to secure it instead. The child was found entrapped between the frame of the play yard and the metal rod of the tent. There have been other reports of children who were able to remove the clips and poke their necks out, but thankfully, without injury.

These tents were sold at Amazon.com, Walmart and other retailers going back as far as 2005. Tots in Mind is offering replacement clips which you can get by calling the company at 800-626-0339 or by filling out the form on their website.
