AAFES RECALL NO.
10-042 SCOPE: E-COMMERCE-CATALOG The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced the recall of all Generation 2 Worldwide full-size and portable drop side cribs. MANUFACTURER: Generation 2 Worldwide and Child Design Brands. (Generation 2 went out of business in 2005.) HAZARD: The crib’s plastic hardware can break which can cause the drop side of the crib to detach from a corner of the crib. When the drop side detaches, it creates a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped. When a child is entrapped between the drop side and the crib mattress, it creates a risk of suffocation or strangulation. In addition, the crib’s mattress support can detach from the crib frame, creating a hazardous space in which an infant or toddler could become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. PRODUCT INFORMATION: All Generation 2 Worldwide drop side cribs are included in this recall. The name "Generation 2 Worldwide" appears on a label affixed to the crib’s headboard or footboard. AAFES only sold the Shelby Convertible Models: 50315 and 50815 in 2002. MADE IN: Some labels identify the place of manufacture as Dothan, Ala. Others identify China as the country of manufacture. CONSUMER INFO: CPSC is warning parents and caregivers who own these drop side cribs that infants and toddlers are at risk of serious injury or death due to strangulation and suffocation hazards presented by the cribs. CPSC staff urges parents and caregivers to stop using these cribs immediately and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. Do not attempt to fix these cribs. REMEDY: AAFES customers may return the affected cribs to AAFES Main Exchanges for a refund. |
