The death of a seven-month-old Colorado girl has caused the Consumer Product Safety Commission to reissue a 2008 recall of almost one million drop-side cribs manufactured by Delta Enterprise Corp., according to a news report.
The Delta drop-side cribs were sold at major retailers, including Target and Kmart, between January of 1995 and December of 2005. The cribs were recalled for missing safety pegs that can cause the crib’s drop-side rail to disengage, potentially trapping and suffocating an infant.
To date, two infant deaths have been attributed to this defect. The latest infant death in Colorado occurred when a Delta crib was purchased secondhand and re-assembled without the safety pegs in place.
