Washington, Nov 25 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission on Tuesday promised fast and agile action to get dangerous cribs off the market, acknowledging that the safety agency didn’t react fast enough on a record recall of more than 2 million cribs linked to four infant deaths.

“We were not advancing this case as quickly as possible,” Chairwoman Inez Tenenbaum said. “So I put all of the resources for the agency on this project so that they could accomplish this goal of recalling the crib.”

Stork Craft insisted on Tuesday that its cribs are safe if they are used properly.

Chief executive Jim Moore said that the four deaths, which happened due to the drop-side panel, happened quiet a while ago and they all happened due to improper assembly and improper usage of the crib. He said that all parents need to do to fix the crib is to install a free kit from the company that converts the drop-side to a fixed, immovable side. The repair kit is available free of cost, to all the affected consumers.

In the case of Stork Craft and other drop-side cribs, the part that is the cause of the recall, can break, twist or simply go missing after a few years. And on top of that, improper assembly of the crib can also cause the accidents, which can prove fatal too.

Stork Craft has a free kit to stabilize the movable side. Parents can call (877) 274-0277 or log onto www.storkcraft.com
