Huge crib recall
Just two weeks after Maclaren recalled more than 1 million strollers, another baby product line is recalling its products in what is being called the biggest crib recall in U.S. history.
Our colleagues at Charm City Moms break down the specifics: More than 2.1 million drop-side cribs made by Stork Craft Manufacturing are being recalled after reports that four infants suffocated.
The problem is with the crib hardware, the Associated Press reports. The drop-side can detach, creating a space between the side and the mattress, where a baby can become trapped. Scary stuff.

I have a storkcraft crib, and just after finding out about this recall mine broke at the bottom when my little boy got up this morning. He got his leg stuck. That God it wasn't his head!
