IMPORTANT: Delta Enterprise Crib Recall Notice

Cypriana wants parents to be informed and aware of any products that might be harmful to infants. We recently received word that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) partnered with Delta Enterprise Corporation of New York to voluntarily recall and replace missing safety pegs on 985,000 drop side cribs that were made in Taiwan or Indonesia. When the safety pegs in the base of each leg of the crib are missing from the lower track, the crib locks can disengage and detach if lowered below the peg hole, creating a hazardous gap. This gap can lead to the entrapment and suffocation of an infant or toddler.

An 8-month-old child became entrapped and suffocated when the drop side of the crib detached and safety pegs were not installed, according to the CPSC. Delta Corp and the CPSC are urging parents and caregivers to immediately stop using cribs that are missing a safety peg on any leg of recalled cribs with date codes ranging from 1995 through December 2005, plus one model (4624) made in 2007. The model numbers are located on the top of the mattress support board. Contact Delta either by telephone or web site for a free easy-to-install repair kit.

Call Delta toll-free at 1-800-816-5304 or log onto our Crib Recall Center for more information on the model numbers and to order the free replacement kit.
