Bexco Recalls to Repair Million Dollar Baby, Baby Mod and Da Vinci Brand Drop-Side Cribs Due to Entrapment, Suffocation and Fall Hazards

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.

Name of Product: Drop-Side cribs sold under the brand names Million Dollar Baby, Baby Mod and Da Vinci

Units: About 156,000

Distributor: Bexco Enterprises, Inc., d.b.a. Million Dollar Baby of Montebello, Calif.

Hazard: The cribs’ drop-sides can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, causing part of the drop side to fall out of position, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped, which can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. Drop side incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and with age-related wear and tear.

Incidents/Injuries: CPSC and Million Dollar Baby have received 43 reports of drop-side failures. There were eight reports of children being entrapped between the mattress and drop-side resulting in three reports of bruises to the head or upper body. Additionally, three children fell out of the crib when the drop-side failed but they were not injured.

Important Message from CPSC: CPSC reminds parents not to use any crib with missing, broken, or loose parts. Make sure to tighten hardware from time to time to keep the crib sturdy. When using a drop-side crib, parents should check to make sure the drop side or any other moving part operates smoothly. Always check all sides and corners of the crib for disengagement. Disengagements can create a gap and entrap a child. In addition, do not try to repair any side of the crib. Babies have died in cribs where repairs were attempted by caregivers. Age is factor in the safety of any crib. At a minimum, CPSC staff recommends that you not use a crib that is older than 10 years. Many older cribs may not meet current voluntary standards and can have numerous safety problems.
