Drop-side SafetyCraft model cribs manufactured by the out-of-business Generation 2 Worldwide have been recalled due to the potential of suffocation or strangulation accidents occurring to infants. Both full-size and portable drop-side crib models are being recalled. Due to their closing in 2005 little information is available regarding the models being recalled. SafetyCraft appears on a label on the headboard or footboard. Product labels may indicate manufacturing done in Indonesia or Dothan AL. Some of the dropside cribs may have a clear plastic footboard or headboard. It should also be noted that the cribs should not be confused with the SafetyCraft cribs released by Foundations Childrens Products which can be identified by the word Foundations on the mattress support assembly instructions label located underneath the cribs mattress. Foundations purchased the SafetyCraft trademark from Generations 2 Worldwide. People with Generations 2 Worldwide SafetyCraft drop-side cribs should not continue to use them and should not attempt to fix them.

Drop-side cribs have been a recurring issue in the last few years. While their design may have been done with convenience in mind the drastic problematic issues that can occur with usage of these drop-side cribs have resulted in thousands of recalls over the last few years of many different types of drop-side cribs. If youre a new parent or have a new baby its recommended that you check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commissions website on Crib Information so that you might be able to receive valuable information that can assist you in taking care of your child.
