Defective Cribs Linked to Serious Injuries & Deaths

When you place your sleeping infant in a crib, you shouldn’t have to worry about the possibility of your child sustaining injuries.  Unfortunately, some manufacturers have produced cribs that pose significant safety hazards to children.

Within the last two years, millions of cribs have been recalled following reports of injuries and deaths.  In 2007, nearly one million Simplicity cribs were recalled after two infants were killed by a major design flaw in the hardware.  It was discovered that when the drop-side rail on the Simplicity crib was installed upside down, it could fail and cause the infant to become entrapped. 

Delta Enterprise Corp. had to recall one of its cribs after receiving a report of the death of an 8-month-old child.  Close to one million cribs were included in the recall.  It turns out that some of the Delta cribs were missing safety pegs, causing a risk of entrapment and suffocation for young children.

Manufacturers can be held liable when they place unsafe products on the market.   During a defective children’s product lawsuit, your attorney must prove that the manufacturer did not adequately warn consumers about the product's possible dangers or that there was a design or manufacturing defect in the product that made it unreasonably dangerous.
