Another Crib Recall - Dorel Asia brand Sold at Walmart and Kmart

Dorel Asia is recalling 20 models of cribs sold at Kmart and Walmart since January, 2005.  This is a serious recall, with 10 infants injured and one killed due to a malfunction of the hardware. 

The CSPC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) is advising anyone with these cribs to stop using them immediately until the repair kit can be installed.  They are also advising owners to order the repair kit even if the crib is not currently being used because the malfunction can happen even during re-assembly. View the press release here.

Crib Recall

Do you have this crib?

Caramela Furnitures' "Diane" Crib

If so, stop using it.  Visit this CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) Press Release to learn more about a potential entrapment hazard caused when slats come loose, which has prompted the recall of about 1,000 cribs.

The release advises parents to stop using the crib until a replacement drop side can be provided but that won't be available until March.  If you decide to move your kids out of the crib permanantly, please go ahead and get the replacement in case you need it for future kids or if you hand it down.

Bubble Gum flavored and Grape flavored Children's Tylenol Meltaways in 30 count packages AND Junior Motrin Grape Chewables, Orange Chewables and Easy to Swallow Caplets in 24 count packages are included in the Tylenol Recall.  A special website has been launched where consumers can see if their products are included.  The site allows you to search the lot number on a package or view a list of products.
