This recall involves Stork Craft baby cribs.

All cribs with manufacturing and distribution dates between May 2000 and November 2008 are included in this recall.

The cribs were sold in various styles and finishes.

The manufacture date, model number, crib name, country of origin, and the firms name, address, and contact information are located on the assembly instruction sheet attached to the mattress support board.

The firm's insignia storkcraft baby is inscribed on the drop side teething rail of some cribs.

The cribs were sold at major retailers including J.C. Penney, Kmart and Walmart stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Babiesrus.com, Costco.com, Sears.com and Walmart.com from May 2000 through January 2009 for between $100 and $400.

The metal support brackets used to support the crib mattress and mattress board can crack and break. When one or more support brackets break, the mattress can collapse and create a dangerous gap between the mattress and crib rails, in which your baby can become entrapped and suffocate.

CPSC is aware of 10 incidents in which one or more mattress support brackets broke. In several incidents, the support bracket broke causing the mattress to collapse and create a gap between the mattress and crib rails. CPSC received a report of a toddler who sustained bruises to his forehead. In another incident a child reportedly became entrapped in the gap between the mattress and the drop side rail with no injury.

The voluntarily recalled baby products consist of 535,000 units.

Stop using the recalled cribs and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for your baby. Contact Stork Craft to receive a free replacement kit, with new mattress support brackets.
