ALERT: Product Recalls - Dorel Asia SLR Cribs and Graco Strollers

Two widely used children products have been recalled. Consumers are urged to stop using the recalled cribs and strollers, and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement kit. Manufacturer contact is listed below:



Dorel Asia SLR and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission are recalling about 635,000 cribs, following 10 injuries to infants and one child death. The crib manufacturer and the CPSC are concerned that if the hardware that holds up the crib’s side fails, the drop side might detach, which could lead to suffocation or entrapment.


So far, there has been one related death involving a 6-month-old Iowa baby who was fatally injured as a result of strangulation and entrapment. The CPSC and Dorel Asia have received 31 reports of drop side accidents. Six of them involved kids who became entrapped between the mattress and the crib’s drop side. Three babies sustained bruises. There have also been 36 reports of cribs’ slats breaking. Two children became entrapped because of this. Fortunately they were not injured. Seven babies sustained scratches and bruises.

Log on to http://www.dorel-asia.com/ to order the free replacement kit to prevent child entrapment in these cribs. The repair kits will be provided to owners within the next several weeks.  OR call Dorel Asia toll-free at (866) 762-2304 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday
