82,000 Drop-Side Cribs Recalled Over Safety Concerns

In response to new rules from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, popular retailer Pottery Barn has recalled 82,000 drop-side cribs according to a recently published story.  The potential safety hazard with drop-side cribs is that the drop-side rail can become partially detached, creating a gap between the rail and mattress where a baby might get caught or suffocate.  The new regulations outlaw the sale and resale drop-side cribs and also prohibit the use of drop-side cribs at motels, hotels, and child care facilities.  The drop-side crib has been in use for decades.  Pottery Barn is offering a free kit to immobilize the drop-side rail.

Sometimes defective products, like the drop-side crib can hide in plain sight because we get used to using them.  Have you ever been injured or gotten sick from a product that you think might be defective?   Our lawyers investigate these claims regularly and would be happy to answer your questions, so please contact us.
