Dorel Asia Recalls Cribs; 1 Infant Death Reported
About 635,000 cribs are being recalled because of a strangulation hazard that resulted in an Iowa baby being killed, a U.S. watchdog agency said Tuesday.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on its Web site that Dorel Asia SRL of Barbados was voluntarily recalling the cribs to replace drop side and non-drop side cribs. People who bought the cribs are advised to quit using them immediately until replacement kits are obtained and installed.
The cribs, made in China and Vietnam, were sold at Kmart, Sears and Wal-Mart stores nationwide from January 2005 through last month for between $120 and $700 a piece.
