Parents are said to be still irate even as The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled 2.1 million Stork Craft cribs that caused recent death in four U.S. children as a result of 110 incidents.
It happened when the drop-down sides of the cribs got detached, which consequently entrapped the babies between the side and the crib frame, or falling out of the crib altogether.
Some parents want the Stork Craft drop-side cribs banned for their insufficient safety verification that may yet spread out to include their high-chairs and strollers.
“Most parents are not aware that there was no requirement that the products be tested for safety before they were sold,” said Nancy Cowles, who runs a child advocacy group called Kids in Danger.
Although it appears that there is already a law requiring manufacturers to have their products inspected for safety by an independent third party, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), however, has not been able to monitor this provision and implement tougher inspection requirements.
The recall of the Stork Craft cribs, which has been in circulation since 1993, is said to be the largest recall in U.S. history.
