The popular crib maker Delta Enterprise has issued a recall of 1.6 million cribs with drop sides made between 1995 and 2007. If the cribs are missing safety pegs or if a spring peg on one type doesn't work properly, there's a risk that a baby could become trapped and suffocate. The company says that if you have one of these cribs and safety parts are missing, you should stop using it until you have received and installed replacement parts or a retro-fit kit.

Here's Delta's site on the recall, with photos that will help you determine if your crib is included and request the parts you need to fix it. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has more information here and here.

Because of this recall and others, the commission is urging parents with any kind of drop-side crib to inspect their cribs for stability. Make sure the drop-side mechanism is operating smoothly and securely on its track. Here's more information on how to inspect your crib.
