Playkids USA recall cribs
An infant death has prompted the recall of approximately 2,000 convertible cribs by Playkids USA. The mesh siding expands and can cause gaps between the matress and sides. This allows room enough for an infant to fall into the space, become entrapped and possibly suffocate. A 5 month old child died in August 2008when he became entrapped and suffocated.
This recall involves the Playkids U.S.A. convertible crib/playpen/bassinet/bed with model number PLK-909. “Playkids U.S.A.” can be found on the packaging and on a label sewn into the side of the crib. The model number can be found on the packaging. The convertible cribs have a drop side rail, a stationary side rail, a canopy assembly, and a bassinet. The sides of the convertible crib, the mattress support, the bassinet, the canopy and the bedskirt are covered in fabric and mesh. The fabric and the mesh come in a variety of colors and patterns. read the notice
With the tremendous amount of recalls occurring involving children products, especially cribs, we have to wonder what's going on with testing of the products prior to their public sale.
