According to the CPSC, in May 2007 an 8-month-old girl from Bryan, Texas, died because the safety pegs on her crib were missing. The larger of the recalls, including 985,000 cribs, involves missing safety pegs that allow the crib locks to disengage when the drop side is lowered below the peg hole. The two recalls do not involve Delta cribs made this year but the Consumer Product Safety Commission cautions that the cribs may be on the secondhand market. After the death of two 8-month-old babies in separate incidents, Delta is recalling almost 1.6 million cribs with drop sides because of two different defects that can cause a baby to become entrapped between the mattress and the drop side.
