Dorel Asia Recalls To Replace Cribs; Pose Strangulation and Suffocation Hazards - January 19, 2010

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Dorel Asia SRL, of Barbados, is voluntarily recalling about 635,000 Dorel Asia cribs. The drop side hardware can fail causing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop side detaches it creates a space in which an infant or toddler can become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. In addition, the recalled cribs can pose a serious entrapment and strangulation hazard when a slat is damaged. This can occur while the crib is in use, in storage, being put together, taken apart or reassembled; or during shipping and handling.
