Nursery Product Recalls on the Rise in 2009

In the past 2 years alone there have been 37 recalls involving more than 7 million full size cribs and other sleep environments including portable cribs, bassinets, and play yards. At least 11 babies died in these unsafe units.

Recent crib recalls include the LaJobi Bonavita Hudson and Babi Italia Pinehurst, LaJobi Bonavita Cabana, and Simplicity models due to defective drop sides and Jardine models due to wooden slat breakage. Other sleep environment recalls include convertible cribs by SunTech Kids and play yards by Dorel Juvenile Group, Simplicity, and Kolcraft.

Many other items are involved in your child’s day-to-day care. Other recent child product recalls include Evenflo Majestic and Envision high chairs, Bugaboo Bee strollers, and Recaro, Triple Play, and Team-Tex America car seats which fail to comply with federal safety standards.
