635,000 cribs made by Dorel Asia SLR have been recalled. The drop-side hardware on the cribs can fail, causing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the side detaches, it creates a space in which an infant or toddler can become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. CPSC and Dorel Asia received a report of the death of a 6-month-old from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who became entrapped and strangled in a crib after the drop-side hardware broke. The recalled cribs also pose a serious entrapment and strangulation hazard when a slat is damaged.
Graco Children’s Products is recalling 1.5 million Passage, Alano and Spree strollers. CPSC and Graco have received 7 reports of fingertip amputation. Some styles of the products have hinges on the canopy that could cut and/or amputate a child’s fingertip when the canopy is opened or closed.

@Karie,
Was it? Is your stroller safe or has it been recalled?
