Baby Crib Disaster Finally something has started....

Well I’m back I guess I had to learn the rules the hard way about posting. I apologize to all.

Well, I finally made a big break through… It seems someone realizes the potential danger in this crib. Toys R Us discontinued selling it in Babies R Us as of today.
A Toys R Us Corporate Customer Satisfaction agent contacted me today saying there was a “stop sale”.

For those of you that do not know my story,,,here it is:

On Thursday, 20SEP07 my wife and I awoke to my baby, 13 months old at 24 lbs, screaming and hearing a banging noise. It was more unusual than her early morning wake ups, she’s usually all smiles and happy. My wife looked into the video monitor and believed the crib was broken. I ran in the room and to my disbelief the crib separated at one top corner. She was screaming because her hand was being hit from holding the side rail with her right hand and with her left hand hanging onto the front rail that came loose. Unknown to her, she was pinching her fingers. It was obvious then that the hole drilled to secure the rails together was too close to the edge. When they manufactured the crib and put an anchor or bushing into the hole, it just cracked the wood making it a time bomb. There are stress cracks on 3 top corners of the crib were the bolts enters. This whole crib could have fallen apart. We never even noticed this assembling this crib. If we had not noticed this in our monitor, she might have tried to get out and possibly get trapped. It could have been a disaster.


This has situation occured 36 days ago. I have been on this one man crusade to do something about it. I.m just trying to spread the word.....

Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear your story but I'm sure happy to hear your little girl is okay and that Toys R Us is finally doing something about this crib.

Thanks for spreading the word, I will definitely keep this in mind and spread the word to other expecting mothers and parents.
