2.2 Million Drop-Side Cribs Recalled

continued...

The firm’s insignia "storkcraft baby" or "storkling" is inscribed on the drop-side teething rail of some cribs. In Stork Craft cribs that contain the “Fisher-Price” logo, this logo can be found on the crib’s teething rail, in the manufacturer’s instructions, on the assembly instruction sheet attached to the mattress support board, and on the end panels of the Twinkle-Twinkle and Crystal crib models.

Major retailers in the United States and Canada sold the recalled cribs including BJ’s Wholesale Club, J.C. Penney, Kmart, Meijer, Sears, USA Baby, and Walmart stores and online at Amazon.com, Babiesrus.com, Costco.com, Target.com, and Walmart.com from January 1993 through October 2009 for between $100 and $400.

The cribs were manufactured in Canada, China, and Indonesia.

Fleming said that Stork Craft has been inundated with calls, and that the company web site was unable to handle the traffic. She urged consumers who purchased the product to be patient and to keep trying to get through -- and warned them not to used the cribs until the repairs are made.
