Cosco knew of 24 non-fatal incidents of children becoming entrapped in its full-sized metal cribs over a 2-year period before an 8-month-old child in White Lake, Mich., died of asphyxiation in one of the cribs on June 24, 1997. During that period, Cosco initiated a number of warning label and assembly instruction changes but did not inform the CPSC.
Consumers should check their Cosco cribs immediately to determine if they have been mis-assembled with the mattress platform being used as a side rail. Consumers can make this determination easily by trying to pass a soda can through the slats on the side rails. If the soda can passes through any of the slats, the crib has been mis-assembled and consumers should stop using it immediately and call Cosco at 800-221-6736 for instructions on properly re-assembling the crib or to arrange for an in-home repair. To prevent death or injury, do not use a mis-assembled crib until it has been repaired. Cosco is offering all owners of mis-assembled cribs a free gift to encourage them to repair their cribs.
