Crib recalls

Yesterday, August 5, the CPSC announced two separate recalls involving cribs. Both have been recalled because they do not meet the minimum federal safety standards.
The cribs involved int he recall are 1300 units made by Mother's Hubbard's Cupboard's of Toronto, Canada, and 500 units made by Baby Appleseed of California.

Far too often products such as the cribs listed above make it into the market place while they fail to meet safety requirements. For instance child safety seats are self policed. That means the manufacturers have the "minimum" standards they are required to meet and they self test to see if their safety seat meets those requirements.

If your child has been hurt by a product such as a crib, child safety seat or other product and you feel we may be able to assist you please contact us.
