The government has announced a recall of an unknown number of “SafetyCraft” drop-side cribs that were manufactured by a now-defunct company, the Consumer Products Safety Commission reports.
Our defective product lawyers reported earlier this month on our Product Liability Attorneys Blog that the government has announced a halt in the production of drop-side cribs late last year after decades of serious and fatal injuries to infants. Unfortunately, these cribs will remain on the secondary market for years to come.
In this case the manufacturer, Generation 2 Worldwide, ceased operations in 2005, leaving the government with little information about the number of these cribs in circulation and where they were sold. The name “SafetyCraft” appears on a label on the crib’s headboard and footboard. They are used in child care facilities as well as in homes.
The cribs have plastic hardware that can break, creating a space where an infant or toddler can become wedged or entrapped. A suffocation or strangulation hazard results. There have been three infant deaths and 20 injury incidents involving a previously recalled crib manufactured by the company.
While parents would prefer to assume that products marketed to children are largely safe from serious or fatal defects, nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, the government recalls hundreds of children’s toys and other products each year.
Other child products recalled so far in February include:
–-Burlington Basket Company Bassinets: 500,000 are being recalled because a cross-brace may not full lock, resulting in collapse.
-IKEA SNIGLAR Crib: Mattress support may detach and collapse, creating a suffocation and entrapment hazard.
–-Walt Disney Watches: Can burn skin or cause allergic reactions.
-Kristi G SwimWays Child Chair: Chairs may tip over.
-Summer Infant video baby monitors: 1.7 million recalled after two infants strangled to death on the cord.
The product liability attorneys at the Ferraro Law Firm provide experienced legal representation for all types of defective product claims, including children’s products, defective vehicles and dangerous medical products.

Not too long ago I picked up the phone and called the Ferraro Law Firm not quite knowing what to expect. From the moment I reached out, the team made me feel heard and taken care of — not just like another case walking through the door.
Nikki Hurtado was my first primary contact. After speaking with her I knew that I had picked the right firm. She walked me through the process in plain understandable language. Even after numerous calls, she never made me feel like I was asking too many questions, and I always felt confident that my case was in expert hands.
My litigator was Daniel Di Matteo. If there was ever anyone that you would want by your side in a court of law, it would be him. He was everything that you would want in an attorney—calm, cool, always prepared, communicative and most importantly–experienced. He knew everything that was going to happen before it occurred but was prepared for any contingency. He is a fantastic attorney.
What really set them apart was their communication. I was kept informed at every stage — no chasing down updates, no wondering what was happening with my case. Calls and emails were returned promptly, and they proactively reached out whenever there was a development.
The professionalism of the entire team — from the attorneys to the support staff — was exceptional. Everyone I interacted with was kind, compassionate, and genuinely invested in my well-being, not just the outcome of my case.
And the outcome? Better than I could have hoped for. They fought hard on my behalf and secured a result that truly reflected the impact this injury had on my life.
You could ask for no better firm or attorney.
