Recalls: Cribs and baby clothes

The following recalls have been announced:

• Cribs. More than 1,000,000 Stork Craft baby cribs were recalled in the U.S. and Canada. The cribs — made in Canada, China and Indonesia by Stork Craft Manufacturing of British Columbia, Canada — were recalled because the metal mattress-support brackets can crack and break. This could cause the mattress to collapse and create a gap where a child could get trapped or suffocate.

About 535,000 Stork Craft baby cribs were recalled in the U.S. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is aware of 10 incidents of support brackets that broke. In one incident a child was trapped between the mattress and the side rail with no injuries. The cribs were sold at J.C. Penney, Kmart, Wal-Mart and other stores around the country. They were also sold online at amazon.com, babiesrus.com, costco.com and walmart.com. They were available between May 2000 through this month.

About 494,000 Stork Craft baby cribs sold in Canada were also recalled. These cribs were sold between May 2000 and this month at major retailers across Canada. Health Canada, the country's health care agency, has received one complaint in which the metal mattress-support bracket failed. No injury resulted from this incident.

• Baby clothes. About 16,000 Taggies Sleep 'n Play baby garments, made in China and imported by Rashti & Rashti of New York, because the snaps on the garments can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children. In July 2008, the company recalled two Taggies Sleep 'n Play style baby garments, including the Butterfly Applique and the Fun Dog Print. The recall has been expanded to include the Dinosaur Applique and the Pink Toss Print styles. The garments are one piece coveralls with snaps down the front. RN No. 27829 is on the care label sewn into the garment. The products were sold at Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby, Dillards, Nordstrom and other specialty stores nationwide and Internet retailers from January 2007 through November 2008.
